Directions
1. Add the potatoes, onion, celery, chicken broth, garlic, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper to the Instant Pot and cook on high for 10 mn.
2. Once done, do a quick release, open the lid carefully and add the cream cheese and cheddar. Use a potato masher to blend the soup together for a chunky loaded potato soup, or an immersion blender for a super smooth loaded potato soup.
3. Divide into bowls and top with shredded cheddar, bacon, and chives. Enjoy warm!
Notes:
- You can keep the potato soup refrigerated in an airtight container for 2 or 3 days; or better, freeze in batch and reheat when needed!

I make this recipe all the time - love it! Only thing I do different is I cool the bacon in sauté in the Instapot first. Set bacon aside but leave drippings in pot and then I add everything to the pot and start the soup. Also, your recipe never says when to add the cream. I’ve just been adding it at the end with the cream cheese.
