Instructions
Sauté aromatics
- Set the instant pot to sauté mode and set it to high heat settings. Add oil, when the oil is hot add the onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until they turn soft.
- Now, add the diced potatoes and all the seasonings mentioned above in the "seasonings" section of the ingredients list. Sauté for 30 seconds. Cancel the sauté function.
Deglaze pot
- Add water and deglaze the pot very well by scraping the sides and the bottom of the pot with the help of a spatula. This will help loosen any stuck food particles and prevent burn errors.
Pressure cook
- Add the frozen veggies, soy sauce, and better than bouillon chicken base. Give everything a good stir.
- Secure the lid of the instant pot. Seal the valve. Pressure cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is over the instant pot will begin to beep. Immediately perform a quick pressure release by turning the valve from the sealing to the venting position manually. Once the pressure is completely released the floating metal pin on top of the lid will drop. Open the lid carefully. Cancel the pressure cook mode.
Add dairy
- Turn on the sauté mode and set it to low heat setting. Now add the frozen broccoli florets and the heavy whipping cream. Simmer the soup for 2-3 minutes. Cancel the sauté mode.
- Add the grated sharp cheddar cheese in batches and stir briskly until the cheese is completely incorporated into the soup.
- Serve the creamy veggie soup with your favorite toppings like crushed black pepper, red pepper flakes, and grated cheddar cheese. Enjoy! Scroll up to find recipe steps, subs, and lots of great tips!

Notes
- Veggies: You can add fresh veggies if you want to. In that case add the fresh broccoli florets along with the other veggies and pressure cook together.
- Dairy: You can sub the heavy whipping cream with whole milk, fat free milk or 2 % milk. You can also replace the cream with half and half. The consistency of the soup will change.
