Pumpkin Soup in an Instant Pot
The Fastest Homemade Pumpkin Soup You'll Ever Make
Of all the Instant Pot recipes out there, I had yet to try a pumpkin soup, but the season is now! First, I learned to pressure cook a gourd. Sliced in half and seeds removed, it only takes five minutes on Manual. It's a miracle! If your grocery isn't carrying sugar pumpkins yet, try kabocha squash or even butternut squash. This particular soup is quick and simple for a reason. It tastes good enough served solo, but sprinkling a ton of parmesan cheese and topping it with homemade garlicky croutons will make it life-changing.
