    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

    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 :)
