Food Friday: Quick and Easy Broccoli Cheese Soup in Instant Pot

This soup was remarkably quick and easy to make and was just enough for two meals for two people.

Broccoli Cheese Soup in the Instant Pot

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 strip celery, diced
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
3 cups broccoli florets
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
2/3 cup 2% milk
2 cups grated cheese
2 teaspoons homemade Greek seasoning salt

Turn the Instant Pot on to the sauté function.  Add butter to start melting then add the onion, carrot, and celery and stir well with a long handled wooded spoon for a couple of minutes.

Stir in the whole wheat flour then add the broccoli and vegetable broth. Stir until well combined.  

Add the evaporated milk and 2% milk, the grated cheese, and the Greek seasoning salt.

Stir well.  Cancel the sauté function and re-set to the soup function.  Set the timer to 5 minutes.  Put on the cover and turn the pressure gauge to "pressure".  When the timer goes off, let the steam release naturally for about fifteen minutes.  When the steam has released, remove cover, stir, and taste to correct seasoning.

This was just about perfect for my taste, and it was ok by Dear One's taste buds.  There was just enough left over for one more small meal.  This is good because more than twice in a row and Dear One objects/calls it leftovers and prefers not...!

The Instant Pot wins again!
