Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped
  • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 yellow onions, diced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 5 sage leaves (plus more for garnish)

Crispy sage

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 sage leaves

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to Instant Pot in the order that they are listed, with the exception of sage. Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal.
  • Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 5 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook for 5 minutes.
  • Do a quick release of the pressure on the Instant Pot by flicking the switch at the top with a spoon. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily.
  • Add in sage then blend soup with an immersion blender. Garnish with crispy sage and a swirl of creme fraiche/cream/coconut milk (optional - do not add dairy if making vegan), then serve and enjoy!

Crispy sage

  • Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over high heat. Once oil is hot, add sage and fry for 30 seconds or less, until sage is crispy. Drain onto a paper towel lined plate, then use as a garnish for soup.
