Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Broccoli (5 minutes): Separate the broccoli florets from the stems. Trim and reserve any tender leaves. Peel the tough outer layer of the stems and dice the remaining core.

02

Step

Sauté Aromatics (5-7 minutes): In an Instant Pot, heat olive oil using the 'Sauté' function. Add diced onion, carrot, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

03

Step

Incorporate Broccoli and Spices (2-3 minutes): Add the diced broccoli stems and leaves to the pot and sauté for another minute. Then, stir in the broccoli florets. Add turmeric powder and cracked black pepper, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.

04

Step

Pressure Cook (25-30 minutes): Turn off the 'Sauté' function. Pour in the chicken broth. Close and lock the Instant Pot lid. Set to high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.

05

Step

Release Pressure (10-15 minutes): Allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Then, carefully perform a quick release to vent any remaining pressure.

06

Step

Blend and Finish (5 minutes): Remove the lid and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Stir in the plain yogurt.

07

Step

Serve (1-2 minutes): Serve immediately, or allow to cool before freezing for later enjoyment.

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the broccoli florets before adding them to the soup.
If you don't have an Instant Pot, this soup can easily be made on the stovetop. Simply simmer the ingredients in a large pot until the vegetables are tender.
Feel free to adjust the amount of turmeric and pepper to your liking. For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Garnish with a swirl of yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
