Instant Pot Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

One of the very first meals I cooked when I started following a ketogenic/low carb lifestyle was Broccoli & Cheese Soup. I had avoided it for years due to the high-fat content. Now that I was eating high-fat foods with Keto, I couldn’t wait to start enjoying keto broccoli cheese soup.

As a busy homeschooling momma, I try to keep things simple. One way I do this, especially when the weather is cold, is by making a big pot of soup to eat for lunch all week. This Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup is on my menu at least twice a month because we all love it.

Last night I decided to tweak the recipe so I could make it in my Instant Pot. I just love my Instant Pot. It’s kind of like a Crock-Pot on steroids as it cooks so much faster. It also infuses the food with flavor making it taste as if it has been simmered on the stove for hours. No wonder the Instant Pot has become so popular!
