    Optional Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, and Green Onions.

Notes

Cream Cheese: Leave the cream cheese and the Velveeta cheese out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before you start cooking. This will make it easier to blend into the soup, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency.
Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into uniform cubes so they cook evenly and become tender at the same time.
Instant Pot - You'll use the saute function for the first three steps. Add the lid, lock and seal. Set to manual and 5 minutes. Allow a natural release for 10 minutes and then a quick release. Add the cheese and stir until it all melts. Finally, ladle out two cups of the soup and pulse 2 - 3 times in a blender. Return the blended soup back to the pot.
