• 4 cups (16 oz) fresh or frozen broccoli florets, steamed and chopped smaller if they're in large pieces

• 3 1/2 cups water
• 16 oz frozen cauliflower (or 4 cups of roughly chopped fresh cauliflower)
• 1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth (1/2 cup only if using fresh cauliflower)
• 2/3 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese (freshly shredded is best for both cheeses, but you can also use pre-shredded)
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/8 - 1/4 tsp salt (start with 1/8th of a teaspoon and add another if necessary
• optional: some black pepper if you like!
• To your Instant Pot liner add you dry pasta and 3 1/2 cups water. Place a steamer basket on top of everything and put 16 oz (or 4 cups) of cauliflower in the steamer basket. Put lid on and cook on manual for 3 minutes with a quick release afterwards.
• Remove the cauliflower and put it in a blender with 1 1/4 cups broth and puree.
• Return the cauliflower mixture to the pot, stir in the cheeses, salt and pepper. Check seasonings and then stir in the cooked broccoli florets and serve!
