Instant Pot......Potato Soup

Experimented tonight.....this is what I came up with.  Friends dropped by unexpectedly and joined us.  I will make this again.

Instant Pot Potato Soup
1 T. butter
1/2 c. chopped onion
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
3 c. water
1 T. chicken bouillon
10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
4 c. diced potatoes, unpeeled (6 medium)
1 c. milk
2 T. flour
2 c. grated cheese
1/4 c. diced bacon

Place butter in the Instant Pot on Saute to melt.  Stir in the onions and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.  Stir in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute stirring constantly, so the garlic doesn't burn.
Turn off the instant pot and stir in the water, bouillon, soup, salt, pepper and potatoes.  Stir well.  Put on the lid and pressure cook for 8 minutes on High.  While it cooks make a slurry of milk & flour and set aside.  Do an instant release.
Return to Saute setting and stir in the slurry mixture, cheese and bacon.  Stir until cheese is melted and soup has thickened.  Serve.
