When it comes to soup, I don’t shy away from the good stuff, and by good stuff I mean butter, heavy cream and cheese. This instant pot cauliflower soup has all those three ingredients, and then some. We’re talking two types of cheese, bacon, and some sour cream to cut through some of the richness. This recipe also calls for some cauliflower, which is then blended until the soup is smooth and creamy. I must say, the kids love this and most of the time they don’t even realize it’s actually cauliflower soup. That’s how good it is.
