The Best Instant Pot Broccoli And Cheese Soup Food

INSTANT POT BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Splash in some of the water and scrape a spoon along the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits. Add the carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, brown mustard, and salt. Add the remaining water.
• Close and seal the lid. Cook on HIGH pressure (Manual) for 3 minutes. When the cooking cycle is complete, immediately vent to release the remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid. With an immersion blender, puree the soup, leaving it as creamy or as chunky as you like. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and puree it in batches, then return it to the Instant Pot. (Be careful not to overfill, as hot soup will splatter.)
• Stir in the cheddar, Parmesan, almond milk, and black pepper. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Enjoy hot (with a bonus sprinkle of cheddar if you feel so called!).

• Stir in the chicken stock, broccoli, carrots, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Lock the lid in place, make sure the vent is set to seal, and select high pressure and 1 minute cook time.
• When the cooking time ends, use the quick pressure release. When the valve drops, remove the lid carefully.
• In a small bowl whisk together the corn starch and cold water until smooth.
• Set the pressure cook to saute/browning and slowly add the corn starch mixture to the pot. Stir constantly until the soup comes to a boil and thickens.
