Ingredients

Servings

Cook on High-Pressure ingredients:

  • 5 pound potato peeled and cubed, Yukon or Russet variety, in bag
  • 1 onion diced, medium
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 tablespoon thyme dried
  • 1/2 tablespoon oregano dried
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can 12 oz evaporated milk

Add after cooking on High Pressure:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream room temperature

Garnish:

  • 6 oz Bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients listed under the "Cook on High Pressure" to the pot. Make sure you don't go over the inner Max line of your pot
  2. Stir to combine.
  3. Close and lock the lid, point knob to sealed.
  4. Press High Pressure and input 10 minutes. It will take the Instant Pot to come to pressure about 15-20 minutes, due to the high volume of the soup.
  5. Once done cooking, do a 10-minute Natural Pressure Release, after which, carefully release the remaining pressure by moving the knob to the Vent position.
  6. Lift the lid and use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes.
  7. In a cup whisk cornstarch and cream until well combined and smooth.
  8. Select Sauté, and whisk in cream mixture until fully combined. Simmer for a few minutes, until the soup thickens. If the soup is too thick, add more cream or broth, and simmer.
  9. Stir in sour cream.
  10. Turn off the pressure cooker and stir in cheddar cheese until melted.
  11. Serve hot garnished with bacon, cheese, and green onions.
