Notes
- This soup holds well for a few days. If you don't plan to eat it all immediately, create the bowls you will eat and broil. Reserve any remaining bread and cheese for when you enjoy leftovers. Let the extra soup cool to room temperature then place it in a tightly sealed container in the fridge. Heat soup then add bread and cheese before broiling.
- You can caramelize your onions in the Instant Pot. If you're worried about burning them, place them in a large pan instead over medium-low heat (closer to medium but not quite). Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden brown.
