Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Rinse the broccoli and roughly chop it into uniform sized pieces. Chop the onions and garlic.
    Measure the flour and broth.
  • Set the Instant pot to the saute setting. Once it's hot, add the olive oil, onions, and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the garlic and onions begin to soften.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the instant pot and pour in half of the vegetable broth. Set the pressure to high for one minute; place the cover on the instant pot. Keep in mind will take about 8 to 10 minutes for the instant pot to reach pressure.
  • Carefully slow release the pressure after 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the flour into the remaining broth and gradually stir it into the pot with the cooked broccoli. Stir for a few minutes until the soup starts to thicken. Add the milk and the grated cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
  • Adjust the thickness of the soup to your preference.

Notes

Store leftover soup in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days in  the refrigerator.
Thicken the soup if it's too thin by gradually whisking in more flour.
Instead of adding more flour after cooking the soup, add 1/4 cup of leftover potatoes (mashed or baked are a great option for this), or Greek yogurt.
