Ingredients

  • A substantial butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • A generous cup of water
  • Two pieces of fresh turmeric, finely grated
  • A piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • A can of unsweetened coconut milk (14 ounces)
  • A cup of chicken stock, or more if required
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Step 1

In a versatile pressure cooker, like Instant Pot®, mix together the vibrant butternut squash, water, zesty turmeric, and spicy ginger. Seal the lid securely and set it to high pressure for 8 minutes following the manufacturer's guidelines, giving it some time to build up pressure for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

Gently release the pressure using the quick-release method after approximately 5 minutes according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Once it's safe, unlock and lift the lid, then introduce the creamy coconut milk into the mix. Utilize an immersion blender to give the soup a velvety texture.

Step 3

Activate the Saute function, and slowly incorporate the chicken stock until you reach your preferred thickness. Finally, season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to taste.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. When storing your delicious Creamy Coconut Butternut Squash Soup, make sure to first allow it to cool completely before transferring it to a storage container. This will help retain its flavors and prevent condensation.
  2. 2. Opt for airtight containers to keep your soup fresh for longer periods of time. Mason jars or plastic containers with tight-sealing lids work well to maintain the soup's creamy texture.
