Follow The Directions

01

Step

Engage the 'Sauté' function on your Instant Pot. (0 min)

02

Step

Add olive oil, then introduce the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften and become translucent. (6-8 min)

03

Step

Incorporate the cubed butternut squash, dried thyme, and dried marjoram. Continue to sauté until the squash begins to glisten and absorb the aromatic flavors. (5 min)

04

Step

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, ensuring all vegetables are submerged. (1 min)

05

Step

Secure the Instant Pot lid, ensuring it's locked. Select the 'High Pressure' setting and set the timer. (10 min)

06

Step

Allow the Instant Pot to naturally build pressure. (10-15 min)

07

Step

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. (5 min)

08

Step

Once the pressure is fully released, unlock and remove the lid. Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. (2 min)

09

Step

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. (3 min)

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the butternut squash before adding it to the Instant Pot. Roasting will caramelize the squash and add depth to the soup.
If you prefer a vegan option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
A swirl of cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt can add extra richness and tang to the finished soup.
Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added texture and flavor.
