    Instant Pot Butternut Squash Soup is a delicious way to enjoy your next winter squash. It’s warm and comforting, and the pressure cooker makes the process as easy as possible!

    Why You’ll Love It

    You’ll minimize the mess. Unlike working with a slow cooker, you can saute the aromatic ingredients directly in the Instant Pot, so there’s no extra saucepan to clean when you’re done. The pressure cooker will even keep your soup warm for serving!

    It tastes amazing. This butternut squash soup is loaded with flavor, thanks to simple ingredients like onion, garlic, and curry powder. It tastes like it was simmered for hours, but doesn’t require nearly as much time. 

    It’s allergy-friendly. Made with coconut milk instead of heavy cream, this recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan friendly. 

    It’s ultra comforting. With a creamy texture, this velvety soup is perfect anytime you need to warm up from the inside out. Pair it with an Apple Walnut Salad for a light, yet nourishing meal.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    Instant Pot Butternut soup ingredients labeled in glass bowls.

    You can use fresh or frozen butternut squash, as long as you keep the weight the same. The 2 pounds is measured after the squash has been peeled and cut, so you can use pre-cut squash from the store, or frozen squash to cut-down on the prep work.

    If you prefer a sweeter soup, you can also add in a granny smith apple to cook along with the squash, or add a small amount of maple syrup or brown sugar at the end, for a touch of sweetness. 

    If you would like to try another Butternut Squash Soup variation, be sure to check out my stove top recipe, which is made with apple and cinnamon. You can also use chicken broth instead of water, but keep in mind that you’ll need to cut-back on the salt in that case, since prepared broth will already have extra sodium.

    How to Make Instant Pot Butternut Squash Soup

    1. Saute. 

    Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot and wait 1 minute for the bottom of the pot to warm up. 

    Add in the olive oil and onion, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and curry powder, and stir for 1 more minute, just until they smell fragrant. 

    Press the “Off/Cancel” button to turn off the sauté function and add 1 cup of water to help prevent the garlic from burning. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom of the pot, to make sure nothing is stuck. (This will prevent a burn error later.)

    2. Pressure cook. 

    Add in the remaining 2 cups of water, the butternut squash, and the salt and pepper. Secure the lid and move the steam release valve to sealing. 

    Use the Manual or Pressure Cook button to cook at high pressure for 15 minutes. It will take roughly 10 minutes for the pot to pressurize, so the screen will read “ON” until then.  

    When the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. (This means you don’t have to do anything until the screen reads L0:10.) 

    When the time has passed, move the steam release valve to venting to release any remaining pressure. When the floating valve in the lid has dropped, it’s safe to remove the lid.

    3. Blend.

    Transfer the soup to a blender and carefully blend until it’s smooth. For safety, be sure to remove the vent in the blender’s lid and cover it with a thin towel to let steam escape. (This way the lid won’t blow off your blender from the steam pressure.) 

    You can work in batches, if you need to, or you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. 

    Return the soup to the pot, and stir in the coconut milk. Adjust any seasoning to taste, adding more salt, if needed. You can also add a splash of maple syrup, if you prefer a sweeter tasting soup.

    4. Enjoy!

    Ladle the butternut squash soup into bowls, and serve warm with any garnishes you like. You can drizzle the top with extra coconut milk, or add some roasted butternut squash seeds and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro or black pepper. You can also use store-bought pumpkin seeds as a crunchy topping.

    Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. It’s easy to reheat again, directly from the fridge or freezer, on the stove top or in the microwave for a quick meal.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why doesn’t this recipe call for broth?

    Using a store-bought broth isn’t necessary when you use sufficient seasonings, but you can use chicken stock or vegetable broth in this recipe, if you prefer. Just be sure to cut-back on the salt, in that case, since most broth will already contain sodium.

    What if I don’t have an Instant Pot?

    You can make this pressure cooker butternut squash soup on the stove top instead, by sauteing the onion in a pot over medium heat on the stove. Then add in the garlic and curry powder and stir for 1 more minute. Add in the butternut squash, water, salt, and pepper, and bring the liquid to a boil. Then cover the pot with a lid and lower the heat, so the soup can simmer until the squash is very tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. You can proceed with blending the recipe from there!

    What if I don’t have enough squash?

    If your butternut squash is on the small side, you can make up the rest of the weight by using some peeled and cut carrot, instead.

    Is there a replacement for the coconut milk?

    You can use heavy cream, instead, or you can use another non-dairy milk, but it will be less creamy in that case.

    What if I don’t have curry powder?

     You can typically use 1 tablespoon of red curry paste as a swap for 1 teaspoon of curry powder.

    Need tips for thawing soup?

    Transfer the frozen soup to the fridge at least 24 hours before you plan on reheating it again. This should help it thaw, though it’s not 100% necessary to thaw the soup before warming it up again.

    Notes

    Nutrition information is for roughly 1 cup of soup, assuming you get 8 cups from this recipe. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
    *Weigh the squash after peeling and cutting it. You can use pre-cut squash from the store, or frozen squash to save time.
    **For the best results, open a can of full-fat coconut milk and pour the contents into a high-speed blender. Blend for 60 seconds, or until the milk looks smooth. Then you can measure out the 1/2 cup for this recipe. Reserve the rest in the fridge, for a future recipe.
