Broccoli Cheddar Soup Panera Bread Copycat Recipe

Have you had the Panera Bread broccoli cheddar soup? It is SO good, so I wanted to make my own version in the Instant Pot. It is easy to make, so I created a quick tutorial for you to watch below!

// INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup onion, chopped up

• 1/4 cup flour

• 2 cloves minced garlic

• 1 cup grated carrot

• 1 head broccoli, cut into small pieces. 

• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

• 2 cups vegetable stock

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 2 cups grated cheddar

 // directions

1. Set your Instant Pot  to the saute function. Add butter and chopped onion, and saute for a few minutes.

2. Add the flour and garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes.

3. Add carrots, broccoli, nutmeg and vegetable stock.

4. Then change setting to high pressure and set for 15 minutes.

That is it and you have a version of the Panera Bread broccoli cheddar soup that I think is actually better than the store bought one! I like to serve this with with crusty bread. And it reheats really nicely in the microwave. I hope you make this for yourself and enjoy it on its own or alongside the rest of your meal.
