  4. Put lid on Instant Pot and set to 8 mins. Because of the amount of liquid, it will take about 10-15 minutes for your IP to come up to pressure.
  5. Once done, quick release steam.
  6. Blend all the ingredients with an immersion blender. You can also blend it in batches and return to pot.

  8. Add cream. This really is to taste and preference. Some people don't add it at all, preferring a soupier-soup while others like the thick swirl of cream. It's really your choice!
