I intentionally made this as low carb as possible, but it still has the comfort of a richer broccoli-cheese soup.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 small onion, diced
1 head broccoli, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
6 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup crema con sal (salted Mexican-style sour cream)
1 teaspoon garlic granules
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add onion and butter; saute until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli, chicken broth, and whipping cream.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 5 minutes, then switch to the quick-release method to release remaining pressure, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Stir in Cheddar cheese, crema con sal, and garlic granules. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

If you want to thicken it up you may try adding 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, but I did not do this.
