This Instant Pot Broccoli Cheese Soup is creamy comfort food made in a pressure cooker. It’s healthy, keto, and low carb.

INGREDIENTS

• 7 ounces chopped broccoli florets (about 4 cups)
• 7 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (about 3 cups)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups diced onions (about 1/2 onion)
• 1 cup diced carrots (about 3 carrots)

• 5 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

INSTRUCTION

1. Sauteing vegetables: Select the saute mode on the pressure cooker for medium heat. Add butter and stir until melted. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery, cooking for about 5 minutes until onions are soft, stirring frequently. Turn off the saute mode.
2. Pressure cooking: Add chopped broccoli and 2 cups of water, and stir. Secure the lid and seal the vent. Cook for 5 minutes at high pressure, immediately followed by a manual pressure release.
3. Stirring in dairy: Uncover and select the saute mode. Add heavy cream and garlic, and stir. Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring in until melted and well-mixed. Turn off the saute mode.
4. Serving: Add salt and pepper to taste (I usually add at least 1/2 teaspoon of salt). Serve in bowls and optionally sprinkle paprika and shredded cheddar on top.
