Instant Pot Broccoli Cheese Soup

Broccoli Cheese Soup INSTANT POT

Turn Instant Pot to Sauté setting, add butter, and, once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add broth and sauté for 1 minute.

Add broccoli florets and screw-on lid. Set Instant Pot to cook on Manual setting for 10 minutes. (It will take 10-15 minutes for it to come to pressure and then the timer will begin to countdown.)

Quick-release pressure once Instant Pot timer has gone off. Remove lid, add shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, mustard, paprika, and pepper, and stir until cheese begins to melt.

Pour in heavy cream and continue to stir until all ingredients are well-incorporated. Taste mixture and, based on your preferences, add salt or omit altogether.

Using a ladle, scoop out ¾ cup of soup and transfer to a mixing bowl. In ¼ tsp increments, add xanthan gum and whisk vigorously until soup thickens. Transfer thickened soup back to Instant Pot and stir.

Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar before serving.
