Instructions
Remove leaves and core of Cauliflower and place into pressure cooker cooking pot.
Add onion, red pepper, jalapeno, habanero (or Sambal Oelek), garlic, salt, pepper and ground mustard.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream.
Lock on lid and close pressure valve. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. When Beep sounds, wait 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
Open lid and use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency.
Dump in cheese and stir until melted. Enjoy with a garnish of crispy bacon and scallions.
Notes
Homemade bone broth
is best to use, but
Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
is a good substitute if you don't have bone broth.
If you cannot find Monterey Cheese or Oaxaca Cheese, use Mozzarella Cheese.
