Instant Pot Parsnip Soup

Directions

1. Chop onion, parsnips, and potatoes

2. Turn Instant Pot on and put it into sauté mode and add butter

3. Once the butter starts to bubble, add onions and garlic and mix

4. Once the onions start to get a little color on them, add parsnips, potatoes, and salt. Mix and then add the broth. Make sure the broth almost covers the contents in the Instant Pot. It is ok if the tops are peaking out

5. Turn off Instant Pot. Then, place the cover on and make sure it is in the "sealed" position

6. Select "Pressure" cook at high pressure for 12 minutes

7. Optional: make bacon bits if you would like to add them to your soup. Cut raw bacon into 1" pieces, place in a pan and cook until brown. Drain the bacon from the oil and set aside

8. Once the soup is done, let the soup natural release for 10 minutes. Then, very carefully, open the seal and let the rest of the pressure release

9. Once all the pressure has been released, remove the lid and use an immersion blender or blender to make the soup super creamy

10. Add cream (or non-dairy milk) and cheese and mix all together. Adjust seasonings accordingly if needed

11. Add bacon bits and top with green onions

12. Enjoy!
