Loaded Pressure cooker potato soup!! This soup is so comforting, indulgent and delicious. I made this creamy potato soup in King Pro pressure cooker but you can also use instant pot or stovetop. This soup only takes 10 minutes to cook which makes it perfect for dinner.

Steps
Peel the potatoes and cut into bite-size chunks. You can keep the skin on if desired.Please note: the lid of the pressure cooker must be off while using the browning or sautéing function. Also, the pressure pot takes at least 5 minutes to build up when in the cooking mode and that doesn't include the active cooking time. The timer would count down when it starts cooking.
Using the browning/ sauteeing function: Add the butter to the pot and let it melt, then add the chopped onions and cook for about 1 minute stirring continuously until soft, followed by the minced garlic, quickly stir along with the soft onion until fragrant.
Add the chopped potatoes and stir to combine. Pour over the chicken stock, pepper and then close the lid of the pressure cooker and set to 7 minutes using the soup function.
When the time is up (mine shows END) carefully release the valve to release the pressure, then open the lid.
Using a potato masher, immersion blender or powerful blender, blitz until the desired texture is achieved. I used a potato masher and still achieved a smooth texture.
Stir into the mashed potato cream, milk and cream cheese. If the soup is thick at this point, lighten with some water or more milk. If the soup is too thin, thicken with cornflour or flour and cook on browning function (or simmer on keep warm function) for another 3 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Check for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.
Serve the potato soup warm with cheese, chopped green onions or chives and chopped cooked bacon.
