How to make Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup?

Pumpkin Puree -This recipe calls for the use of pumpkin puree. I usually make my own pumpkin puree at home for fresh flavors or you can used a store bought pumpkin puree. Trust me homemade is so much nicer. Lovely color and flavor. You can check out our post to make your own Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree.

Saute - Heat some oil in the Instant Pot and then add the bay leaf, onions and garlic. Saute for a min or so until the color changes.

Dump Ingredients - Next add in the pumpkin puree, Italian herbs , salt and liquid. Give it a stir and close the lid.

Pressure Cook - Seal the vent and pressure cook for 10 mins followed by a quick release.

Blend - Carefully open the lid and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.

Garnish with pumpkin seeds and / or a light drizzle of vegan cashew cream or almond milk. Serve it with a crust bread.

Variations

Using a fresh pumpkin instead of using pumpkin puree.

Adding a little ginger, paprika, turmeric and apples to give this soup an immunity boost.

Garnishing it with herbs or pumpkin seeds oil or balsamic vinegar or greens.

If you like it sweet, sweeten it by adding a natural sweetener like monk fruit extract or keep it savory instead.

Add coconut milk if you like.

Do I have to blend the soup even if I use the pumpkin puree

Blending makes sure you don't get any onion bits when you enjoy the soup. If the small bits don't bother you, feel free to skip it.

Can I store this soup

This is a vegan soup so you can make a large batch and store it. Make sure you don't add any almond milk or vegan cashew cream before freezing it. If you have any left over soup it's best to refrigerate it and it will stay good for upto 3 days.
