Immune-Boosting Broccoli and Turmeric Soup for the Instant Pot® image

This soup is full of fresh ingredients with immune-boosting properties. Making it in your pressure cooker helps retain those nutrients. It also makes use of broccoli stems that you might normally throw away, so it's a win-win recipe. It makes a lot, so you can freeze some for another day.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds broccoli florets and stems
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
½ cup diced red bell pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Remove broccoli florets from stems and set aside. Trim leaves and set aside. Cut away and discard the tough outer portion of the stems. Dice the remaining cores.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add oil, and select Saute function. Add onion, carrot, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger; saute until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broccoli stems and leaves; saute for 1 more minute. Stir in broccoli florets. Add turmeric and cracked pepper; stir until vegetables are coated. Turn off Saute function and add broth.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Release any remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid and stir.
  • Puree soup with an immersion blender until creamy. Stir in yogurt and serve, or cool and freeze.
