Cauliflower Soup (Instant Pot)

  • 2 carrots (minced)
  • 2 celery stalks (minced)
  • 1 MED onion (minced)
  • 32 OZ frozen cauliflower or 2 heads fresh cauliflower
  • 6 C vegetable broth
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 4 TBS butter
  • 4 TBS flour
  • 2 C milk
  • Parsley
  • Nutmeg
  • Sour cream (optional)
  1. Sautee carrots, celery and onion in the Instant Pot with a little olive oil till the vegetables start to soften.
  2. Add cauliflower, vegetable broth, salt and black pepper, and stir.
  3. Put the lid on, set to sealing, and pressure cook for 7 minutes.
  4. Once it’s come up to pressure and started to count down melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour. Once thoroughly mixed, whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer then whisk frequently over low heat till it starts to thicken. Turn off the heat and add salt, parsley, and nutmeg; stir, cover.
  5. When the Pot beeps done, press “cancel” and release the pressure. Remove the lid and set to “saute”. Use a potato masher to break up the veg bits. Once the soup is bubbling, stir in the white sauce from above. Let simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until soup starts to thicken a little. If you like extra creamy soup, add a little cream and stir. Cancel the saute function.
  6. May be served with a little dollop of sour cream.
