Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound 93% lean ground turkey I’ve done this with 1 pound, too and it works great
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 medium carrots chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons flour all-purpose, wheat, or gluten free
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 10 oz Yukon gold potatoes 2 medium, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 (12 oz) wedge wedge cauliflower, stem attached
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions for garnish

Instructions

  • Press the sauté button on your instant pot.
  • Once it reads HOT, add the turkey and brown the meat, breaking it up as you go, for about 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. 
  • Transfer the meat to a bowl and set aside. 
  • In the instant pot (still on sauté), melt the butter.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic.
  • Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the flour, salt, and pepper to taste and cook, stirring for 1 minute to cook the flour.
  • Return the turkey to the instant pot and add the chicken broth, potatoes, and cauliflower and stir.
  • Cover, seal (make sure the vent is pointed to sealing) and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.
  • Quick release, then open when the pressure subsides.
  • Transfer the cauliflower and 1 cup of the liquid to a high powdered blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the puree back into the soup and stir well.
  • Add the cheddar and stir until melted.
  • Serve topped with the scallions.
