Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!
  • 4 pounds butternut squash
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 small yellow potatoes
  • 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • ½ tsp cinnamon ground
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg ground
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!
  1. Start by washing 2 butternut squash and placing them inside your Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water, seal the pot, and pressure cook on high for 20 minutes.
  2. While the squash is cooking, heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the garlic to the pot and sauté for another minute.
  4. Add the broth, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pot with the sautéed onions and garlic.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, you can either do a quick pressure release or let the pressure release naturally.
  6. Carefully remove the cooked squash from the Instant Pot and let it cool slightly. Then, peel off the skin and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into chunks.
  7. Add the potato and squash chunks to the pot with the sautéed onions, garlic, and spices.
  8. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches until smooth.
  9. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  11. Serve the soup hot and enjoy its creamy and comforting flavors. Optionally, you can garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream for added visual appeal.
