Instructions

Place the butter or coconut oil in a 6-quart Instant Pot and press Sauté. Once the fat is melted, add the leeks, onions, celery, thyme, and orange zest to the pot and cook for 4 minutes or until the onions are soft. Press Cancel to stop the Sauté.
Use a whisk to add the cream cheese and stir to loosen or you will get clumps. Slowly whisk in the broth. Add the tomato paste, orange extract, shrimp, salt, and pepper.
Seal the lid, press Pressure Cook or Manual, and set the timer for 2 minutes. Once finished, let the pressure release naturally.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish the bisque with chives and bacon. Drizzle with the olive oil.

Complete step 1 using a large skillet over medium-high heat to sauté. Transfer the mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker and proceed to step 2. Cover and cook on high for 40 minutes or on low for 2 hours.

Thank you for the recipe! This soup has a good flavor. The only changes I'd make for next time would be to make it on the stove and use raw shrimp.

I cut up 3 strips of thick cut bacon into small pieces with scissors and cooked my shrimp with it. I also wanted more soup so added another cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Came out awesome! My son and I both loved it.
