No time to labor over the stove to make dinner? This Instant Pot Loaded Baked Potato Soup is quick and easy to make with almost all of the cook time being hands off in the instant pot. You start this soup off with cooking the bacon and then adding in the potatoes and broth to that. Yep, that’s right. The bacon is loaded into the soup from the very start!

After the soup cooks you add in a roux and cheese to really make it fully loaded. I keep this soup with some potato chunk to make it feel even more hearty and filling. I also leave on the most of the skins on the potatoes because that’s where so much of the nutrients are.

I lightened this soup up by using an unsweetened almond milk and greek yogurt as substitutes for some of their full fat and higher calorie brethren. You can really use whatever sort of milk you prefer, but almond milk is just what I tend to have on hand.

I also use a reduced fat cheese, mild, medium or sharp cheddar are my favorites. Top it all off with a few more bits of bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions.
