Step 1
Set the Instant Pot the the sauté function.
Step 2
Melt a knob of butter or add a splash of olive oil. Add the leeks, onion and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the peeled and cubed potatoes, thyme and bay leaf then season with salt and white pepper.
Step 4
Black pepper can also be used but white pepper is slightly gentler and works better in the soup, in my opinion. Pour in the stock.
Step 5
Place the lid on the pot then turn the vent to Sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes then quick release the pressure.
Step 6
Remove the thyme and bay leaf then transfer the soup to a blender (or use a stick blender) and blend until smooth.
Step 7
If the soup is too thick, add more stock. Pour the blended soup back into the Instant Pot then pour in the cream.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the soup in bowls topped with sour cream, crispy bacon, cheese and chives.
