I pulled this together for Dinner the other night and everyone liked it so much I thought I should record and share.  

 

Ingredients:

 

• 32 OZ ultra low / no sodium chicken broth
• 2 pounds of potato (Yukon Gold or Russet) coarsely cut
• 1 very large yellow onion course cut
• 4 cups of fresh broccoli steamed
• 1 cup of bacon bits
• 1/2 cup fresh ground Parmesan
• 3 TB olive oil or butter
• 2 tsp dried oregano 
• 2 tsp salt or to taste (if using regular chicken broth then 1/2 tsp or to taste)
• 1 tsp granulated garlic 
• 1 tsp black pepper

 

Shredded cheddar and chopped green onions for serving 

 

Method:

 

• Add the oil and onions to the instant pot and set to saute.  Cook the onions until you start to get brown bits.  De-glaze with some of the chicken broth and turn off.  
• Add the potatoes, spices and the rest of the chicken broth and cook 15 minutes manual high pressure.  Once done do a quick release.
• Use a stick blender and cream it up well.  Using a spoon stir in the Parmesan, broccoli and bacon bits. 

 

Serve with shredded cheddar and chopped green onion on top.  This is down right delicious!

I think you'll like it.  If you have suggestions let me know.  Throwing a little cream in there would probably be good but I am saving all of my cream for ice cream.  The young kids really enjoy making it.
