- 3 tbsp butter, divided
- 2 yellow onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large russet potatoes, skinned and cubed (about 4 cups)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp each salt & pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 slices turkey bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 bunch green onions, sliced
Add 2 tbsp butter, onions, garlic, potatoes and chicken broth to Instant Pot in that order. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes then do a quick release of the pressure.
Meanwhile, cook turkey bacon in a large frying pan and chop up, then grate cheese and slice green onions.
When potato mixture has finished pressure cooking, do the quick release then open the lid when safe to do so. Turn onto saute mode and mash potatoes and a spoon or masher, leaving some chunks. Stir in butter, salt & pepper and flour, whisking to combine.
Stir in milk and sour cream then bring just to a simmer. Turn off saute mode and then ladle into bowls, topping with turkey bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions and a dollop of sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
Tip: Leftover soup (sans toppings) can be frozen up to a month in glass containers.
Feel free to swap out the turkey bacon for regular bacon, although it will increase the calorie count.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop on low heat or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freeze the raw turkey bacon for up to 6 months or the cooked turkey bacon for up to 3 months.
