There is nothing like a lazy, fall Saturday afternoon, just hanging out with your family. Maybe, nothing better than the taste of Roasted Squash soup, as the weather has been getting down int0 the 30’s here. (Can you say ouch) it’s time to start using my Instant Pot for some great soup flavors and recipes.
Now, I have teenage boys and if you know anything about that, you know they love to eat. I really don’t think I’m ever out of my kitchen. I literally have to say, I’m washing the floor, do not come in. (I’m a nice mom though, I give them a warning and tell them to grab anything they want to eat and drink before I do so)
My youngest, Jason absolutely loves squash, and it’s literally a base for anything you want to throw on top of it to give it flavor, my personal opinion, is I love Sage and Squash, and if you ever are home experimenting, throw some sage onto your squash and you will really see what I’m talking about.
So, today’s Saturday Soup is Cream of Butternut Squash Soup, you only need a few ingredients and the rest you probably have on hand.
First, by using the saute feature, heat up the oil, for about 1 minute. Just long enough so it gets hot.
Once, the oil is heated up, add the cut up (already peeled and seeded) butternut squash, and saute for about 10 minutes
See that nice caramelized color on the squash, that allows the flavors of the squash to really come out.
Then measure out two cups of chicken broth (I make my own Chicken Stock) and milk
Add the chicken broth or stock to the pot, along with the milk and spices.
Mix it well, add the cover and set the manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
Then, when you open it up, you will get squash puree, use an immersion blender to make it a very smooth soup.
I garnished my soup with a fresh sage leave (awesome flavor together) and a few roasted pumpkin seeds.
