Instructions
Step 1
Select browning/saute to preheat the pressure cooker. Add the butter and onion and saute until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Stir in the chicken stock, broccoli, carrots, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 4
Lock the lid in place, make sure the vent is set to seal, and select high pressure and 1 minute cook time.
Step 5
When the cooking time ends, use the quick pressure release. When the valve drops, remove the lid carefully.
Step 6
In a small bowl whisk together the corn starch and cold water until smooth.
Step 7
Set the pressure cook to saute/browning and slowly add the corn starch mixture to the pot. Stir constantly until the soup comes to a boil and thickens.
Step 8
Turn off the pressure cooker. Slowly stir in the cream or half-and-half.
Step 9
Add the cheese a handful at a time and stir until it melts.
Step 10
Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
