- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 strips bacon cooked and crumbled, 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.

- 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.
