    cauliflower

    Florets

    broccoli

    Florets
  • ¼ Cup

    diced red onions

  • 1

    jalapeño deseeded and sliced

    (Optional)
  • 3 pods Garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1 Cup

    almond milk or any milk

  • 1 Cup

    vegetable broth or water mixed with vegetable bouillon

  • 1 Cup

    cheddar cheese and more to serve

  • 1 teaspoon Oil to sauté veggies
  • chopped scallions to garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red chili flakes to garnish

Instructions

  • Set the pot to a sauté mode and add the oil. Add chopped garlic and allow the flavors to infuse. 
  • Now add onions and sauté for a minute or two till the onions look translucent. Add salt, cauliflower, broccoli, and jalapeño and sauté for a minute. 
  • Add broth, milk and close the lid and seal the vent.
  • Set pressure cooking in the soup mode for 15 minutes.
  • After the cooking time, wait for the NPR and open the lid as soon as the valve drops to its original position.
  • Use a whisker or a hand blender to purée the veggies in the broth.
  • Now add cream and cheese and mix well. Add water or broth for a thinner soup. Bring the soup to boil in the sauté mode and adjust salt and pepper. 
  • Once the soup becomes little thick, switch the instant pot off and serve the soup with chopped scallions, red pepper flakes and some cheddar cheese.
  • Enjoy!
