Instructions
Turn a 6QT Instant Pot onto the saute setting. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add onion, garlic, thyme, and black pepper. Stir and saute for 5 minutes to soften the onions.
Add chicken stock and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot (this will avoid a burn notice). Add the potatoes to the pot.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to high pressure for 8 minutes. When the timer goes off turn the steam valve to quick release. Remove the lid and stir the soup.
Pour in 1 cup of the half and half and stir to combine.
In a small bowl whisk together cold milk and cornstarch. Pour into the soup pot and stir to combine.

Half and half can be replaced with milk however the soup will not be quite as creamy.
Option: Stir in 1 cup sharp cheddar before serving (do not boil cheese, it may separate).

Love this recipe. I had Costco bacon bits and no bacon. I had no half & half so used what another reviewer did, 1 C milk & 4 oz cream cheese.
I added the bacon bits & the cheddar cheese at the end while the soup was thickening.
A great recipe!
My go to at least once a month!!! Easy, yummy, and always a hit. I even make extras to share with coworkers.
Everyone in the family loves this! It is on my list of go to meals that we have quite often!
This was DELICIOUS!! My extremely picky 8 year old ate two bowls and requested I pack it in her lunch box for tomorrow! I used dried thyme because I had it on hand and added a little Cajun seasoning, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I will definitely be making it again!
Easy and delish. Only sub I made was dried thyme instead of fresh. Turned out fab!
Delicious made as directed I didn't have half and half so I used 1C milk and about 4 oz. cream cheese. Added 1 carrot grated and 1 rib of celery 1/4 inch dice and diced the potatoes 1/4 inch.
Thank you for another delicious recipe.
