Follow The Directions

01

Step

Turn on your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and select the 'Sauté' function. Add the butter and diced onion. Sauté until the onion is softened and fragrant. (Approximately 5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chopped broccoli florets, chicken broth, and heavy whipping cream to the pot. Stir to combine.

03

Step

Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.

04

Step

After the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. Then, carefully switch to the quick-release method to release any remaining pressure. (Approximately 5 minutes). Unlock and carefully remove the lid.

05

Step

Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese, crema con sal, and garlic granules until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.

06

Step

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese. Be careful when blending hot liquids!
If you don't have crema con sal, you can substitute with regular sour cream and a pinch of salt.
For a richer flavor, try using a combination of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or cauliflower for added nutrients and flavor.

    I pureed the whole thing in the blender and it was so creamy and smooth. Will definitely make this again.

    I did not have heavy cream, so I used half and half. It was still great!
