Recipe Summary Instant Pot&Reg; Butternut Squash And Pumpkin Spice Soup

This always reminds me of fall. It's a creamy, but dairy-free, squash and pumpkin soup with holiday spices. It also happens to be paleo, and without the honey it's Whole30® friendly too! I make this in my Instant Pot® pressure cooker where I just leave it under pressure for 15 minutes, puree, and it's ready. If you don't have a pressure cooker, there are also directions for using a medium or large pot below. Garnish with roasted, salted pumpkin seeds.

Ingredients | Vegan Butternut Squash Soup Instant Pot

1 tablespoon avocado oil, or as needed

1 onion, diced

2 pounds butternut squash, cubed

1 teaspoon curry powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 cups vegetable broth

2 cups unsweetened applesauce

½ cup pumpkin puree

2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

2 teaspoons honey, or more to taste

salt to taste

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat oil and add onion. Saute until translucent, about 2 minutes; be careful not to brown the onion. Move onion to the side of the pot. Add a layer of butternut squash to the bottom of the pot. Brown slightly, about 4 minutes. Add remaining butternut squash, curry powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix and continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour broth and applesauce into the pot with the butternut squash mixture. Close and lock the lid; set knob to sealing. Select high pressure and set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.

Mix pumpkin puree and ghee into the pot with the soup. Blend with a stick blender. Add honey and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Use less broth for a thicker soup.

Any cooking oil will do.

To make this soup in a regular pot, cook onion, squash, and spices over medium-high heat. Add broth and applesauce and bring to boil, lower heat, and simmer for 20 minutes until squash is very soft. Continue with the rest of the directions.
