1 1/4cupsvegetable
1teaspoonkosher salt
1cupheavy cream
4ouncesgoat cheeseto garnish
Instructions
Turn your Instant Pot to saute mode and add in butter and your oil and let the butter melt. Then toss in your diced onions and cook until softened and begins to turn golden brown. This takes around 5 minutes.
Now toss in your garlic and sage and cook another minute.
Turn off the saute feature and pour in your vegetable stock. Use a wooden spoon to scrape away any bits stuck on bottom of the pot.
Toss in your cubed butternut squash, salt, and thyme. I wrap the thyme in butcher string to keep it together.
Place lid on the pressure cooker and turn the valve to seasling. Cook high pressure for 12 minutes with a quick release.
Once you remove lid, remove the thyme stems. Use an immersion blender to blend up the soup until creamy.
Add in your heavy cream and stir.
Then ladle up and serve with goat cheesy, more heavy cream, cracked pepper, salt, etc.
This Instant Pot butternut squash soup is so easy and delicious to make.
Notes
You can store your soup in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To reheat use microwave or stove. If it is too thick feel free to stir in more stock or cream.
If you want the soup thicker mix, then add 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons vegetable stock and turn the saute feature on and stir until the soup thickens.
You can use dried thyme, just do 1/2 teaspoon.
Pair your soup with dinner rolls, crusty bread, or even a salad.
You can double this recipe if you have a larger instant pot. Just don't go over the max fill line.
Feel free to use chicken stock to replace of vegetable stock if you would like.
