Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 ½ lb russet potatoes about 5 medium peeled cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup 30 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups half-and-half
  • ¾ cup sour cream plus more for serving
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • shredded cheddar and sliced chives for serving

Instructions

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the Sauté mode and cook the bacon with olive oil until it becomes crispy, then remove it keeping the fat in the pot.
  2. Add the onion and cook until it softens, then stir in garlic and thyme until aromatic.
  3. Mix in the potatoes, chicken broth, and salt, close the lid, and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes before releasing the pressure slowly.
  4. Whisk together the flour and half-and-half to make a slurry, then stir it along with sour cream and pepper into the soup. Use an immersion blender to blend until mostly smooth but still chunky.
  5. Set the Instant Pot back to Sauté and cook while stirring until the soup thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Serve the soup in bowls topped with the crispy bacon, extra sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chives.
