Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Ingredients:

The Simple Instructions: 

Start by dicing your onions.

Then place the diced onions, broccoli florets, shredded carrots, cream cheese and vegetable broth in the Instant Pot Bowl.

Set manual high pressure for 4 minutes.

After a quick release, mix the soup.

Add the heavy cream and cheddar cheese, and continue to mix the soup, until the cheese is fully melted.

Here Are Some Tips–

1. Chop the broccoli florets into small bite-sized pieces.
2. You can pick up a package of matchstick carrots in the produce aisle, saving you lots of time, cutting them. 
3. Heavy cream works best, but if you only have half and a half on hand, that would work as well.
