Instant Pot Broccolini Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Who doesn’t love broccoli cheddar soup on a cold day? I know you’re probably thinking – why broccolini and broccoli? Well, this recipe came to be while I was snowed in and this was what I had in my fridge! After combining the two and the soup coming out delicious, I decided to make it a few more times and well, the results were the same. Delicious creamy goodness. So here I am sharing it with you! *if you only have broccoli or only broccolini, I’m more than positive that you can substitute it in the recipe ;)

What You’ll Need For This Broccolini Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Equipment:

  • an Instant Pot (mine is a 6qt)
  • a handheld blender (or a regular blender)

Ingredients:

  • olive oil
  • onion
  • garlic
  • paprika
  • salt & pepper
  • potato
  • chicken stock
  • broccoli
  • broccolini
  • cheddar

How To Make This Broccolini Broccoli Cheddar Soup in the Instant Pot

  • In your Instant Pot on sauté mode, add olive oil and then your onions and let it cook for a few minutes.
  • Once your onions have soften, add your garlic cloves and give it a good stir.
  • Next add your paprika, salt, and pepper before adding half the chicken stock into the pot to deglaze the bottom if needed.
  • Add your potatoes into the pot and the rest of your chicken stock before placing the broccoli and broccolini on top. Do not stir.
  • Place your lid on and make sure the knob is set to sealing and set your pot on Manual for 5 minutes.
  • Once the 5 minutes is up, let it natural pressure release for 5 more minutes before quick releasing the rest of the pressure.
  • With an immersion blender, puree the soup to your desired consistently (or transfer to a blender to blend).
  • Once smooth, stir in your cheddar and serve immediately.

Can You Freeze This Soup?

  • To be honest with you, I have not tried freezing this soup. From my understanding, due to the potato used in the recipe I don’t think the soup will freeze well (the potato is used to thicken the soup without use of cornstarch and because I like potato lol). If I attempt this, I’ll come back and share my results!

Can This Be Made in the Slow Cooker or Stove Top?

  • Yes! However, it won’t take 10 minutes to cook.

Can You Sub The…?

  • You can sub the broccoli for broccolini or broccolini for broccoli. I just decided to use both!
  • If you want more cheese or a different type of cheese on top of it, I like parmesan and/or monterey jack and/or jalapeno cheddar
  • If you don’t want to use chicken stock, vegetable stock works as well

Got Extra Broccolini left?

  • Add it to the soup! The more the merrier :)
  • Try this herb chicken with broccolini for dinner
