Recipe Summary Instant Pot&Reg; Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This potato soup cooks in an Instant Pot® and is customizable with assorted toppings. I prefer to get my saltiness from the bacon, so I don't add extra salt. I also like a thicker chowder-like consistency; if you like yours thinner, add more liquid.

Ingredients | Loaded Potato Soup Recipe Instant Pot

1 yellow onion, diced

4 thick slices cherrywood-smoked bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon butter

2 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 cup water

1 ½ teaspoons garlic base (such as Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base)

1 ½ cups half-and-half

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

¼ cup sliced green onions

ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add onion, bacon, and butter to the hot pot and saute until bacon is crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off Saute function and transfer contents to a small bowl.

Add potatoes, water, and garlic base to pot and close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Mash potatoes against the side of the pot, leaving some chunks if desired. Add onion-bacon mixture and half-and-half; stir to combine.

Ladle into soup bowls and top with green onions, Cheddar cheese, and black pepper.
