Instant pot butternut squash soup recipe

I only recently started cooking with butternut squash and I questioned myself for not trying it sooner. When my daughter who is now almost 2 years turned 5 months, I promised myself that I wouldn’t feed her any food from the jar.

One of the first vegetable purees I made for her was butternut squash and sweet potato puree. She loved it and finished the whole little bowl I served her. That was how this vegetable became a thing in my family.

Back to my delicious homemade pressure cooker butternut squash soup which I served with my homemade garlic bread.
