How to Make Low Carb Cauliflower Soup in an Instant Pot

First, chop all the vegetables except for the cauliflower and set them aside.
Then, chop half of the cauliflower while grating the other half.
Next, turn your Instant Pot to sauté mode.
Add the bacon and cook it until crispy then carefully remove it and place it on some paper towels. Crumble bacon.
Next, add the butter to the bacon fat in the Instant Pot. Let melt.
Then add the grated cauliflower to help thicken the soup.
After that, add the rest of the veggies & cauliflower and sauté for about 5 min.
Next add the heavy cream and mix together.
Then add the garlic, salt and pepper. Mix.
After that, pour in the chicken stock. Mix well. Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Hit Manual, high pressure and set the timer to 15 minutes.
