Wisconsin Creamy Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

So, this is a recipe we have made for years, but recently we decided to try this in the pressure cooker. This is a version of my favorite place to have soup and sandwiches, Zuppa's. Whenever I feel sick or just down my friend will go pick up some and bring it to me.

1. Turn your pressure cooker to soup for 15 minutes. Add butter. When melted, add onion and garlic and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
2. Add flour and stir until well mixed (it will clump up)
3. Gradually whisk in milk.
