Ingredients

2 heads broccoli
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
2 1/2 carrots
2 yellow or russet potatoes
3 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
1 tsp ground mustard
3 cups unsalted chicken stock
optional: 2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 cups whole milk
6 oz sharp cheddar
6 oz mild cheddar
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Chop the broccoli, onion, carrots, and potatoes into small pieces, and mince the garlic.
Set the cooker to sauté, melt the butter, and cook the onion and garlic for 4 minutes.
Add the broccoli, carrots, potatoes, mustard, chicken stock, salt, and pepper.
Seal the cooker and cook at high pressure for 8 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
Release the remaining pressure, blend the soup until mostly smooth, and return the cooker to sauté on low.
Stir in the milk and both cheeses until melted, without boiling the soup.
