Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Report
This easy broccoli cheese soup is ready in no time and my whole family loves it. We like to serve it with crackers for a quick lunch and add a salad to make it a complete dinner.

Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 12 ounces broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- ½ cup instant mashed potato flakes
- 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce such as Frank's Red Hot
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the chicken broth, broccoli, and carrot to an electric pressure cooker. Close the lid and set the vent to sealing.
- Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Let pressure release for 5 minutes before carefully turning the valve to venting.
- When all pressure has released, carefully open the lid of the pressure cooker. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Alternately, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully puree.
- Stir in the instant mashed potatoes until well combined and a bit thickened.
- Stir in the cheddar, cream, and hot sauce. Continue stirring until cheese has melted. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- This soup turns out quite thick and creamy as written and we love it. It's perfect for dipping hunks of crusty bread in the soup. If you'd like a thinner soup, stir in additional chicken broth or cream until it reaches the consistency you prefer.
- For a vegetarian soup, use veggie broth in place of the chicken broth.
- We buy pouches of instant mashed potatoes at any grocery store. The buttery flavor is perfect and adds a little more flavor to this soup.
