Instant Pot Asparagus Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds asparagus, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1
Turn on the pressure cooker, switching it to its Saute mode, and pour in some olive oil. Add a few slices of bacon to the warmed oil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
Next, add a diced onion to the pot and continue cooking until it becomes soft and translucent, taking about 5 minutes.
3
Now, add minced garlic and chopped asparagus to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Pour in some chicken broth over the asparagus mixture and bring it to a boil. Switch off the Saute mode and press the Manual setting on the pressure cooker. Close and secure the lid tightly, then select High Pressure according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Set a timer for 5 minutes and wait patiently.
5
Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up inside the cooker.
6
Once the pressure has built, release it naturally using the manufacturer's instructions - this may take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.
7
Carefully unlock and remove the lid of the pressure cooker.
8
Use an immersion blender to puree the asparagus mixture until it's smooth and creamy.
9
Add some heavy cream to the pot and switch it back to its Saute mode, cooking until the soup is warmed through but not boiling.
