Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine butternut squash, carrot, apple, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne (if using), cinnamon, and nutmeg in the Instant Pot. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. (2 minutes)

03

Step
18 mins

Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Select 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' and set the timer for 8 minutes on high pressure. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build. (18 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Once the timer is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Once the pressure is fully released, unlock and remove the lid. Stir in the coconut milk. (2 minutes)

06

Step
3 mins

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne for a touch of heat. (2 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a swirl of coconut milk and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired. Serve warm. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the Instant Pot. Toss the diced squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and puree until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
For a vegan option, ensure your vegetable broth is plant-based.
Add a squeeze of lime juice for a brighter flavor.
