Ingredients
Directions
- Stovetop Instructions
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat; stir in onion, celery and leek.
- Cover and cook 20 minutes.
- Stir in potato, bay leaves and thyme; cover and cook 15 minutes.
- Stir in broth, cauliflower florets, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until potato is tender.
- Remove from heat.
- Carefully remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot.
- Serve with desired toppings. Recommended: real pork bacon, shredded cheese and green onions
- Instant Pot Instructions
- Melt butter in the inner pot on saute mode; stir in onion, celery and leek.
- Cook until tender, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. It will cook down in volume, FYI.
- Add in chicken stock, potato, cauliflower florets, salt, pepper, bay leaves and thyme.
- Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, and quick release the pressure (QR) when the cook time is complete. (Hint: I place a dish towel over the lever before releasing pressure to avoid starchy liquid from spraying everywhere.)
- After the pressure is fully release, remove the lid, and carefully remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Tongs are helpful for this.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot.
- Serve with desired toppings. Recommended: real pork bacon, shredded cheese and green onions
