Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 4 cups broccoli florets, chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, chopped
  • 2-3 stalks of celery, chopped
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar

Instructions

  • To prepare the soup, begin by dicing and chopping the celery, carrots, onion and broccoli.
  • With the Instant Pot on Saute function, add butter and melt. Add onions, carrots and celery to the pot and stir for a few minutes until the onions are softened. When finished turn off saute function.
  • Add broccoli to pot along with the water and stir.
  • Close and seal lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes is up, do a manual release.
  • Return the Instant Pot to the saute function. Add the heavy cream and stir. Continuing stirring until the cream has warmed.
  • If you are using a cheese block, dice the cheese into small pieces. Shredded cheese will also work for this recipe just fine!
  • Add the cheese into the pot, continuing to stir until the cheese has melted.
  • Now you can use an immersion blender to make the soup less chunky. If you prefer your soup to have a little more "bite" to it, you can leave it as is.
  • Once the cream and cheese have warmed and melted, this is ready to serve. I like topping this with some shredded cheddar.
