Equipment

  • Instant pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 Large onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp Fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Cup Chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 Lbs Cauliflower, cut into florets (the weight is the florets only, not the whole head of cauliflower)
  • 1/4 Cup Full-fat cream cheese
  • 3/4-1 tsp Sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated and very tightly packed (2oz)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive up on sautee mode and add the onion, cooking until it just begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook another minute
  • Pour the chicken stock into the Instant Pot and place a large steamer basket inside. Add in the cauliflower.
  • Cover, making sure the vent is set to sealing, and cook on manual pressure for 2 minutes.
  • Once cooked, do an instant steam release and place the cauliflower into a blender. Drain the chicken stock into a sink and add the onions into the blender, along with the cream cheese.
  • Pulse until desired texture is reached - don't puree or it will turn into soup!
  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cheese.
  • DEVOUR!
