Ingredients
- 32 ounces fresh broccoli florets
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 cups grated cheddar
- 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack
Instructions
- Add the broccoli, onion, garlic, and chicken broth, ground mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to your Instant Pot.
- Cover, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then release the remaining pressure.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to a smooth consistency. Alternately, carefully transfer the soup to your blender in batches and blend. Be careful while blending hot soup and be sure to vent the steam.
- Set the pot to sauté and add the cream and cheese to the hot soup. Stir constantly until the cheese has melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately with additional grated cheese and crumbled bacon, if desired.
Notes
Stirring in a block of cream cheese with the cheddar will help to thicken the soup up more, if you like it thicker. Alternately, sprinkling 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum over the top and then whisking well will thicken the soup as well.
