1. First, add the chicken broth, potatoes, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
2. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before you open the lid. Carefully remove the lid and stir the mixture. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode.
3. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir until it forms a paste. Slowly add the flour mixture to the Instant Pot and stir until it’s combined. Let the mixture cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Slowly pour in the milk and stir until it’s combined. Let the mixture cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is thick and creamy. Add in the shredded cheese and stir until it’s melted.
