Me thinks I am going to throw all of the ingredients except the cheese in the Instant Pot, cook, then add cheese. Lazy chic version! Looks tasty, thanks for sharing!

Hi! This sounds fantastic. But quick question.... I'm probably being completely obtuse.... How did this work for the purée stage? Did you just put it in the blender?

Yeah, in a food processor. :)

I had the same question.  thanks for asking it.

Hey I made this last night and it was quite good. I poached the chicken instead of baking and used a red bell pepper. Made a smaller amount but it worked well.  tonight with the leftovers i may add a blob of gy for sour cream.  

So here is a recipe to share with you:

Asparagus Roll Ups.

Get some good quality deli turkey slices - not too thin. Steam some asparagus.  Roll up the asparagus spear in a slice of turkey and put a little stick of cheese or shredded cheese in with the asparagus.  Nuke until warm.  Two or three of these make a good bariatric meal. Can be done with lean ham or roast beef.

I will definitely try the asparagus roll ups!! How tasty sounding!
