For an even smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after pressure cooking, before adding the cheese and other ingredients. Feel free to customize the cheese blend! Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or even a smoky Gouda would work beautifully. If you don't have turkey bacon on hand, regular bacon or pancetta are delicious substitutes. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add a pleasant kick.
