Make an easy, warm soup with this Ninja Foodi Broccoli Cheddar Soup, simple to make gluten-free too!

Broccoli Cheddar Soup happens to be one of my all-time favorites and it’s especially good with a sourdough bread bowl or roll, similar to Panera.

Of course, it’s been years since I’ve had sourdough bread since I’m gluten-free but for all of you that can have that…eat up!

I decided to adapt a recipe from Instant Pot that is for Broccoli Cheddar Soup and combine it with a few ingredients similar to the soup served at Panera Bread to make this version of Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

I use the Ninja Foodi for this recipe; however, it can be made in the Instant Pot too with the same method.

Ninja Foodi Broccoli Cheddar Soup is a wonderful option to add to your list of Ninja Foodi Soup Recipes.

Tips for Making Ninja Foodi Broccoli Cheddar Soup:

This soup works the best with sharp cheddar cheese. The flavor profile is going to be very subtle, so that garlic adds the flavor along with salt and pepper.

This particular recipe also uses shredded carrots which is what you would find in the soup at Panera as well. Along with this, use a pound of broccoli.

It’s important to remember that when pressure cooking, do not pressure cook any of the dairy ingredients. The dairy ingredients will be added right before serving.

The broccoli will be nice and soft once the pressure cooking time is over, at this point use a masher to lightly mash the broccoli. This will help create smaller bits of broccoli for the soup.

How do you make this soup gluten-free?

The only swap needed to make this gluten-free is to use gluten-free all-purpose flour.

I use Better Batter All-Purpose Flour; however, any 1:1 gluten-free flour will do.

Other than this all other ingredients will be naturally gluten-free. Be sure to use a gluten-free baguette to serve it with if needed as well. Schar brand makes a good baguette that works great with this soup.
