Steps:

• 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.
• Set the Instant Pot to the saute setting and cook the soup until it starts to thicken.
• If the soup is thicker than you like add the reserved ½ cup half and half. Some of the potatoes can be slightly mashed for a thicker consistency.
• Stir in the shredded cheese and serve topped with crispy bacon and sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Place potatoes, broth, and 1 tablespoon salt into Instant Pot. Close lid, set pressure to high, and cook 20 minutes. Allow Instant Pot to remain on warm setting.

Add onions, season generously with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 25 minutes. If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons water to skillet to prevent burning, scraping bottom of pan to incorporate caramelization. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
• In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.

Blend to combine. Fold in half of cheese, half of caramelized onions, and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If soup is too thick, thin to desired consistency with additional milk.
