1 teaspoon olive oil or butter

Sauté the Aromatics:

Turn on the Instant Pot to the “Sauté” mode.

Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add Vegetables:

Add cauliflower florets and chopped potato (if using) to the pot.

Season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme or rosemary if using.

Add Broth and Cook:

Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring the vegetables are mostly submerged.

Cancel “Sauté” mode, close the lid, and set the Instant Pot to “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” on high for 8 minutes.

Release Pressure:

Once cooking is complete, do a quick release of pressure. Carefully open the lid.

Blend the Soup:

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

If desired, stir in milk or cream to make the soup richer and silkier. Adjust seasoning if needed.

For a nutty flavor, roast the cauliflower florets in the oven for 10 minutes before adding to the Instant Pot.

You can add a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.

For a vegan version, use olive oil instead of butter and coconut milk instead of cream.
