Prepare vegetables by cutting cauliflower into florets and chopping onions. Remember you are going to puree these so rough chop is fine. Just consistency in size is important.
Set Instant Pot to sauté, add butter and Sauté onions until slightly translucent. Add cauliflower florets, season to taste, give a stir and then add stock.Secure lid on top, close the air valve and Set to manual mode for 8 minutes. Cook bacon strips while IP comes to pressure. When crispy remove, drain and chop into bits.
When IP is done, open valve for a quick release. Then add cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Now using the immersion blender, puree mixture until smooth. Switch the IP to the sauté setting, grate some fresh nutmeg into the soup, bring to a slight boil before switching to the warm setting until ready to eat. Plate, garnish with crumbled bacon and serve warm.
