Instructions

In an Instant Pot, sauté bacon until crispy; remove bacon, reserving grease.
Add butter, olive oil, and shallots to the pot and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic, flour, salt, pepper, and thyme for 2 minutes.
Add chicken broth, stirring to remove lumps, then add diced potatoes.
Seal the Instant Pot and cook on Soup/Broth setting for 20 minutes.
Quickly release steam, then open the lid and stir the potatoes until mostly broken up.
Stir in milk and heavy cream, then use the sauté function to bring the soup to a simmer.
Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese, chives, and crispy bacon.
