Instructions
Creating Butternut Squash Soup Instant Pot is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the butternut squash. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Set the Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add a splash of vegetable broth, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
3. Add Butternut Squash: Add the diced butternut squash to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
4. Season and Add Broth: Sprinkle in ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the squash is fully submerged.
5. Seal the Instant Pot: Close the lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
6. Release Pressure: Once cooking is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure by turning the valve to venting.
7. Blend the Soup: Open the lid and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or cinnamon according to your preference.
9. Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it hot.
