Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 5 strips bacon cooked and crumbled, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Set the Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' setting and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to 'Sealing', and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. After cooking, allow for a natural release for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch to create a slurry. Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode, add the slurry to the pot, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the soup thickens.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Season the soup with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
