Directions
When it gets cold outside I crave soup. I honestly could eat it everyday, but store bought is full of so many additives that we try to avoid it. I created this super easy broccoli cheddar soup using my instant pot. Its full of all real food ingredients. To avoid the added wheat many recipes use to thicken soup I added a cup of cauliflower and blended it in. You honestly can’t taste it all but it did help thicken the soup nicely.
