Instant Pot Palmetto Cheese Faux Potato Soup

Instructions

1. Set your Instant Pot on Sauté (“Normal” if you can change the setting, high is OK if not) and add the olive oil. Once hot, add onions and stir to coat with oil. Add minced garlic, rosemary and thyme and sauté until onions are translucent and garlic is smelling heavenly.
2. Add bone broth and cauliflower with salt to taste and the extra garlic powder if a garlic fan.
3. Pressure cook on high (some Instant Pots only have high, if you can’t adjust yours you are already on high) for 5 minutes and follow with Quick Release.
4. Blend with immersion blender until smooth. Add the heavy whipping cream and Palmetto Cheese. Stir until clumps of cheese melt, you will still have some shreds of cheddar cheese, they will continue to be absorbed into the creamy yumminess. The pimento adds nice color.
5. Add the green chilis last and stir, you want to do this after you’ve completed the blending, they should be chunky.
6. Plate and top with sour cream, dollop of Palmetto Cheese, scallions and lots of bacon or air fried pork belly. Enjoy!
