How to make Butternut Squash Soup in the Instant Pot
Making homemade blended soups in the Instant Pot is SO easy! Just throw in all the ingredients (saute the onions, garlic, ginger and spices first, if you want), seal the lid, pressure cook for 12-15 minutes as directed in the recipe below, manually release pressure, add the coconut milk, and puree. It’s really that simple!NEVER MISS A POST! FOLLOW ME ON:

Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 112kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 medium butternut squash cut into 3/4-inch chunks (about 2 pounds)
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk
- extra coconut milk and fresh thyme for serving optional
Instructions
- Start the Instant Pot on "Saute" mode and let it heat up. Wait until the screen says "Hot" and then add the olive oil, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, salt and thyme.
- Saute for about 4-5 minutes, until the onions are soft and become translucent. Alternatively, you can skip the saute step to save time and simply add all the ingredients together.
- Add the butternut squash cubes and stir everything together well.
- Add the vegetable stock.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal the lid. Place the release valve on "sealing".
- Cook for 12 minutes on "Pressure Cook".
- When the Pressure Cook time is finished, carefully turn the release valve to "venting" using a long pair of tongs or another long kitchen tool so you don't burn your hand, arm or face. It's a good idea to do this under an exhaust fan in your kitchen, if you have one.
- When the pressure has released, open the lid, add the coconut milk and blend with an immersion blender.
- Serve while hot with a drizzle of extra coconut milk and some fresh thyme (optional).
Notes

Hello Chrissie
I really enjoy your recipes!
Can I make this soup in a regular pot on my stove since I do not have an Instant Pot? If yes, do I have to modify the recipe?
Thank you
Christine

Can I substitute the fresh ginger for dried ginger instead? And if so how much would I use?
The Busy Baker says
Sure! Just add 1/4 tsp powdered ginger.
