- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped

- Cook on manual on high pressure for 10 miutes. Then allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing pressure.
- Use an emulsion blender or regular blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
- (Optionally) serve with a drizzle of coconut milk, pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs.
Notes
Use a ripe butternut squash for best results. To choose your squash, pick one that feels heavy for its size, is darker in colour and has a brown stem.
Use low-sodium vegetable broth so you can control how salty the soup comes out. Some broths are very salty.
If you like a chunkier soup, only blend it slightly. If you like a super smooth and creamy soup, blend it for a good 60 seconds.
