- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the valve is set to sealing. Select the manual/pressure cook mode and set the timer to 10 minutes.
- When the cooking time is up, quick release the pressure. The squash should be soft and tender. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.

Equipment
You’ll need an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker for this recipe. You’ll also need an immersion blender for blending the soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender, but make sure to let the soup cool down before blending it.
Notes
This soup can also be made on the stovetop. Follow the instructions as above, but simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Then blend the soup with an immersion blender or regular blender.

Recipe Tips
This Instant Pot Butternut Soup is a great way to use up leftover squash. If you have any cooked squash on hand, add it to the soup instead of roasting it. You can also add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, and potatoes. For a bit of protein, add in some cooked chickpeas or lentils.
If you’re looking for a creamier soup, add more coconut milk or use cream instead. For a bit of heat, add in some chili flakes or diced jalapeño peppers. You can also garnish the soup with some toasted pumpkin seeds or crumbled bacon.
