Pressure Cooker Butternut Squash Soup Recipe (Instapot, Freezer Meal, with Coconut Milk)

So this week I made butternut squash soup for the first time ever. For reals? Can you believe I’ve never had it before until now? Yeah, lame. I’m lame.

I’ve been a picky eater all my life, and while I love a good butternut squash baked with brown sugar and a butter…the idea of it being delicious in a soup sounded kind of scary. But when I started seeing images on Instagram pop up with beautiful bowls of this goodness, I started getting curious, and then on a crazy whim brought home a butternut squash!

Then I decided, if I’m pureeing it all afterward anyways, why not add cashews, coconut milk, and some curry powder. And make it both slow cooker and instapot friendly. And a freezer meal of course too, cause you know, that’s kind of my thang.

So, friends, I made it. And it was soooooo good!  Healthy, deep, creamy and the warm notes of spices and butternut squash just all go so well together.  And when I added the croutons? Ahhhh, yes. Crispy tasty goodness.

    Our neighbors gave us a huge butternut squash that would be perfect for this recipe! I’m mad about my soups, I rarely have a day without soup for lunch. I might skip on the coconut milk as I’m trying to cut down on my calories, all the comfort food I’ve been gorging myself with lately started showing…
