Instant Pot Broccoli Potato Soup

This loaded broccoli potato soup is everything you love on a cold night! Made almost entirely of vegetables, rich and creamy, and so ridiculously simple! Make a vegan variation for a Meatless Monday, or top with bacon for a heartier bowl of soup. Paleo and Whole30 approved.

 

I am currently having a lovefest with soup, but in particular, this broccoli potato soup. I’ve been satisfied for dinner with a bowl, on numerous lunch occasions, and even as a mid morning snack once last week. It’s December you guys, and my month has been CRAZY!!!

With trying to finish up my second book (The Big Book of Instant Pot Recipes), and promote my new book, One Pot Gluten-Free Cooking, it’s been quite busy around here. This mama has no time for fussy meals, and I need meals that I can quickly heat up during the day in a pinch.

Broccoli Potato Soup is a soup I’ve been making for years, but I just gave it a Paleo, Whole30, and Instant Pot makeover. And you guys are going to love!

While most Broccoli Potato Soups generally contain more ingredients, the base of this soup is made entirely with potatoes and broccoli. No need for creamy ingredients! The potatoes provide a perfect thickener and robust taste. The sautéed onion and garlic in the beginning of the cooking process is the most hands-on step throughout the entire recipe. Talk about super easy!

Bacon is a welcomed topping for my family, but I’ve also been enjoying this delicious soup without. Either one tastes fantastic! And if your belly can handle a little cheese, some sharp cheddar makes another delicious topper.

Serve along with a green salad for a nutritious and filling dinner!

    We enjoyed it very much at home. Added a little more spices as I did not have broth. Dijon mustard is a good flavor on this soup!!!

    Sounds good. I’d like to make this. Do you think it would work with frozen broccoli?

      Yes, it should definitely work! Just may take longer to come to pressure.

    My first making this soup in an instant pot and it was so good! I used about 3lbs of potatoes because I was worried it would be too much for the 6qu. pot and I added an extra cup of water. It was the perfect amount for four people and a hit with each of us! (I think I could have easily added that extra pound of potatoes!) Will definitely make again! 5 star!

    This was an easy, healthy dinner! I had a big bag of frozen broccoli that I was wanting to use up and this was perfect! I don’t have an inversion blender, so ours had little cubed of potatoes and whole florets in it. Loved that I could eat two bowls and still be calorie conscious.
