Preparation

Step 1

Combine the step one ingredients in your Instant Pot.
Press the “soup” button and cook for 20 minutes high pressure. Manually release the pressure when the 20 minutes are done, the rice will be perfect then.

When the soup is done, whisk together the second step cream ingredients in a large, microwave safe glass measuring cup. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stopping every minute to whisk it smooth again, until the mixture has thickened.
Whisk the thickened mixture into the soup. Let the soup sit on the “warm” setting for another 5 minutes to let everything meld, then serve!
