Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup

Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup

This easy pumpkin soup can be made a variety of ways; on the stovetop, in a slow cooker or in an Instant Pot. The Instant Pot is the quickest way, which is great when you want a lovely, warm meal on a cold night, but don’t have a lot of time.

As part of the instructions, the time waiting for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure has NOT been included, so it will take longer than 10 minutes. If you prefer your soup thicker, reduce the liquid by ½ a cup or the opposite if you prefer it thinner. Add an extra ½-1 cup of water or stock.
