This potato soup cooks in an Instant Pot® and is customizable with assorted toppings. I prefer to get my saltiness from the bacon, so I don't add extra salt. I also like a thicker chowder-like consistency; if you like yours thinner, add more liquid.

Turn off Saute function and transfer contents to a small bowl.

Add potatoes, water, and garlic base to pot and close and lock the lid.

Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes.

Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes.
