Notes
If the broth is too thick to your liking, simply add warm broth and stir to combine.
Or If the broth is too thin to your liking, turn Instant Pot back on and press Sauté button. Bring it back to a boil, stirring frequently until the liquid is reduced. Then add heavy cream.

Safety:
Always allow the soup to cool for a few minutes before blending. Be sure to work in batches and only fill up only halfway if you want to blend the liquid in a blender or food processor. Cover the lid with a folded dishcloth or thick kitchen towel and hold it down when blending. If you are using an immersion blender, be sure to hold the bottom part of the blender a bit higher than the very bottom of your Instant Pot stainless steel pot so you don't scratch it.Nutrition
