Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (Instant Pot Recipe & Whole 30 Compliant)

09/25/2016 by The Mama Maven



I love butternut squash and I love to use it as a main base for a soup. It’s a perfect for fall or anytime when you want a delicious and easy soup to make. Adding apples gives it a little sweetness without adding sugar. I’ve been making butternut squash soup for years and it usually involves me roasting the butternut squash and then pureeing it and heating it up. But I don’t always have time to roast the squash in the oven (working mom), so I was looking for an easier way and I think this may be the winner! You’ll love my healthy Butternut Squash Apple Soup!

  • Then add the rest of the squash and the rest of the ingredients.

  • When the time is up, open using Quick Release (release the pressure instantly by pressing cancel and then twisting the venting knob).
  • Puree the mixture by either using an immersion blender right in the instant pot or take the mixture and put it into a blender, like my trusty Vitamix.

    To mine I also added 2 carrots and a sweet potatoe. After I blended it up I added jarred jalapeños peppers and 8 ounces of cream cheese. Really brought it to a different level.

    I almost didn’t make this recipe due to so many people saying that it was too bland but I did and I enjoyed the taste. I did not find it to be too bland, I did add a little more ginger than suggested in the recipe. It makes a lot since I am a household of one, I will have leftovers for a while.

    Cooked fine. But yes, was very very bland. Didn’t even tell how much ginger was needed so I had to guess

    I found you when I Googled Instant Pot Butternut Squash Soup. I followed your recipe, and we enjoyed for lunch today It’s delicious!! Lovely, quick, simple to make and fresh tasting. I grated a bit of orange peel into the soup before serving. Thank you for your recipe!!

    Hello, quick question about the cook time. The recipe stays “Manual” +10 minutes. My IP is set for 30 minutes on Manual…so this would be 40 minutes total. Is that how long you cooked? TIA

    • The Mama Maven says

      01/06/2017 at 9:19 AM

      No — I did 10 minutes on high pressure, manual. I frequently use either 7-10 minutes, so that’s why I wrote that. I apologize for any confusion.

      I found the recipe to be easy but the taste was too bland for me. I’m interested in what other did to “jazz” it up.

        I added garlic (quite a bit!) and sautéd it with the squash. I like it.

        I just made this soup. I added more ginger after it was done cooking and 1/2c of coconut cream, low fat and small amount of paprika and turmeric powder and salt to taste. Turned super yummy.

    Thanks for this awesame receipe! Simplicity is great and we love ginger and therefore add a lot (about two to three inches of peeled ginger root). Since we are not Whole30 we saute in butter (at least 50g).

    Afterwards we add lemon (and potentially other spices to each individual taste).

    I want to get an Instant pot and make this soup. It did not take hardly any time and I like this healthy soup. I bet it tastes delicious and better than any soup in a can.

      I didn’t add much. I’m not a big fan of ginger. I used the paste and used a 1/4 of a teaspoon. If you like ginger, double my amount. Can’t wait to see how it turned out!
