Add all ingredients to Instant Pot Stir gently and close lid and vent Set for 30 minutes on "Soup" Allow to naturally release pressure until lid opens easily, this took about 50 minutes for me Using an immersion blender (or a standard blender in increments) blend until smooth for a creamy soup Alternatively you can eat this soup without blending if preferred Add all ingredients to slow cooker and stir, close lid Set on low for 4-6 hours until veggies are soft and can be blended into cream soup easily If desired, blend using an immersion or standard blender
