This always reminds me of fall. It’s a creamy, but dairy-free, squash and pumpkin soup with holiday spices. It also happens to be paleo, and without the honey it’s Whole30 friendly too! I make this in my Instant Pot pressure cooker where I just leave it under pressure for 15 minutes, puree, and it’s ready. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, there are also directions for using a medium or large pot below. Garnish with roasted, salted pumpkin seeds.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or as needed
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 pounds butternut squash, cubed
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 teaspoons honey, or more to taste
- salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Heat oil and add onion. Saute until translucent, about 2 minutes; be careful not to brown the onion. Move onion to the side of the pot. Add a layer of butternut squash to the bottom of the pot. Brown slightly, about 4 minutes. Add remaining butternut squash, curry powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix and continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Pour broth and applesauce into the pot with the butternut squash mixture. Close and lock the lid; set knob to sealing. Select high pressure and set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 3
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
Step 4
Mix pumpkin puree and ghee into the pot with the soup. Blend with a stick blender. Add honey and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Cook’s Notes:
Use less broth for a thicker soup.
