Keto Instant Pot Soup (Low Carb)

(66)

Just a keto Instant Pot recipe I threw together while entertaining my 6-month-old on a soccer night for my older kiddos when we had limited time. This is an alternative to fast food on busy hectic nights. I chopped my veggies during nap time, so all I had to do was add them to the Instant Pot! Garnish with green onions, Cheddar cheese, and bacon.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 head cauliflower, coarsely chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup half-and-half

  • 6 slices cooked turkey bacon, diced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 4 dashes hot pepper sauce

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), add olive oil, and select the Sauté function. Add onion and garlic; cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add cauliflower, bell pepper, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken stock, then close and lock the lid.

  2. Select the Soup function; set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  4. Add Cheddar cheese, half-and-half, turkey bacon, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Reselect the Sauté function and cook until bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Tips

If using bacon instead of cooked turkey bacon, sauté it with the onion in Step 1.

You can use gluten-free flour or cornstarch for a thicker soup (about 1 tablespoon dissolved in a small amount of water or 1/4 cup cold chicken stock), but this would not be keto-friendly.
