Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Rinse the broccoli and chop into evenly sized pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Measure the flour and broth
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Once hot, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the broccoli and half of the broth. Lock the lid, set to High Pressure, and cook for 1 minute. (It will take about 8–10 minutes to come to pressure.)
- Allow a 3–5 minute natural release, then carefully quick release the remaining pressure.
- Whisk the flour into the remaining broth until smooth. Stir it into the soup and cook on Sauté for a few minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the milk and cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust thickness with additional broth or milk, if needed. Season to taste and serve.
Notes
Substitutes:
Frozen broccoli can be swapped for fresh
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder can be swapped with fresh garlic 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.
