Savor a comforting bowl of vegetarian broccoli cheddar soup, effortlessly prepared in an electric pressure cooker. The soup boasts a luxuriously creamy and rich texture, beautifully complemented by the sharpness of extra-sharp cheddar cheese. Bite-sized broccoli florets and slender matchsticks of carrots introduce delightful pops of texture and subtle sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

This incredibly flavorful soup stands alone as a satisfying meal or pairs harmoniously with sandwiches or other main courses. Its ease of preparation makes it an ideal choice for busy weeknights or when you crave a wholesome, homemade soup without spending hours in the kitchen. The secret to its smooth and velvety consistency lies in the addition of cream cheese, which ensures the cheeses melt seamlessly, adding body and thickness to the broth.

The result is a decadent and intensely flavorful soup that warms you from the inside out. While this soup may not adhere to strict paleo guidelines due to the inclusion of dairy, it is naturally low in carbohydrates, gluten-free, and free of nuts, making it a suitable option for individuals with certain dietary restrictions. Its versatility extends beyond immediate enjoyment; leftovers can be easily stored in airtight containers and frozen for up to three months, allowing you to enjoy a comforting bowl of homemade soup whenever the mood strikes.

Portioning the soup into smaller containers before freezing makes for convenient and effortless reheating, perfect for quick lunches or single-serving dinners. Serve with your favorite sandwich for a complete and satisfying meal.
