Is it COLD where you live? It’s fuh-reezing here (ok below freezing) so it’s soup weather and this broccoli cheese soup may be exactly what you need on this day. I did and I feel better. Better enough to NOT walk back outside again on purpose. Brr!
It’s time. Grab your Instant Pot, plug it in and press the saute button and let’s get going. It’s time to chop some onions. I am learning some people don’t like onions so you can leave them out or use a tool like a slap chop to get the onions as tiny as you can.
This is a simple recipe full of crazy-good flavor.
