How To Make Pressure Cooker Carrot Soup
Press browning or sauté function (if using instant pot), add vegetable oil and when it starts shimmering, then sauté the onions, chopped celery and garlic until soft. And spices and mix to combine until fragrant. Followed by the chopped carrots then cover with the chicken stock and add the butter. Cover the pressure pot with its lid, use the soup function and adjust timing to 5 minutes or 4 minutes on high pressure if using instant pot.
Once it is done, naturally release the pressure, open the lid and puree the content with an immersion blender or high-power blender. Check for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly. Serve in a bowl with some yummy garlic bread, any other crusty bread or on its own
Stove Top Carrot Soup
Sauté the garlic and onion in hot oil. Then, add the chopped carrots, celery, spices and herbs, salt and pepper and continue to stir fry for another few minutes. Cover the sautéed vegetable with broth and simmer over medium heat until carrot is soft. Blend with an immersion blender or blender. If using coconut milk, add it just before you puree the carrot.

Magnificent, fabulous, best ever! I left out cumin and chili powder and subbed with 1/2 tsp.nutmeg. I don't do anything spicy and I put nutmeg in my butternut squash soup. Worked perfectly for me. Thanks!
