Nothing warms you up on a chilly day like a bowl of creamy and cheesy potato soup. This Instant Pot Potato Soup with Bacon and Cheese recipe is the perfect comfort food for any occasion. The combination of savory bacon, flavorful cheese, and tender potatoes will make your taste buds sing.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:

• 6 slices of bacon, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 6 cups of chicken broth
• 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

First, set your Instant Pot to sauté mode and cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon bits and set them aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.

Next, add the chicken broth, cubed potatoes, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the soup on high pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release the pressure.

Once the pressure is released, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

Serve the soup hot, topped with the crispy bacon bits and additional shredded cheese if desired. Enjoy!
