For a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the heavy cream, or replace it with coconut cream for a similar richness.
Roasting the squash and pears before pressure cooking can add a depth of flavor to the soup.
Adjust the amount of sage to your preference; a little goes a long way.
Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of crème fraîche for an elegant presentation.
