Butternut Squash Soup with Cabbage (in Instant Pot)
Equipment
- Instant Pot (or saucepan or pressure cooker)
- Knife
- wooden spoon
- Hand blender
- Tablespoon
Ingredients
For the soup
- 1 butternut squash - or any medium size squash/ pumpkin
- 1 tbsp coconut oil - or any vegetable oil
- 1 onion - peeled and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves - peeled and chopped
- 1/3 thumb ginger - peeled and chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp herbes de Provence
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar - or 1/4 lemon juice
- water
- 1/3 cabbage - finely chopped
For serving
- fresh coriander - or parsley or basil - chopped
- black pepper
- 4 Ingredients Cashew Frosting*
Instructions
- Watch the ten-minute recipe video (scroll down a bit) to see all instruction steps.
- Cut the butternut squash in half and peel off the top and outer layers using a large knife.
- Add the coconut oil in your Instant Pot (or saucepan) and heat up the Instant Pot with the “sauté” setting. Once heated up, add the onion, ginger and garlic cloves. Cook until brown for about 3 to 5 minutes. Occasionally stir with a wooden spoon.
- Meanwhile, chop the bottom half of the butternut squash and remove the seeds using a tablespoon.**
- Then, chop the butternut squash in cubes.
- Turn of the heat of the Instant Pot and add your spices (salt, cinnamon, cumin seeds and herbes de Provence), apple cider vinegar, and chopped butternut squash.
- Add water to the Instant Pot, just enough to cover up to the top of the ingredients.***Mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Close the lid of your Instant Pot (or saucepan). Switch the release valve to "sealing" and set the Instant Pot on "soup". If you are using a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes with a lid.
- While the soup is cooking, chop the cabbage very thinly.
- Once the soup is cooked, switch the valve on "venting" to let the pressure evaporate (you might want to step back!). Open the lid and use a hand blender to blend the soup until smooth.
- Immediately add the chopped cabbage and mix well with a wooden spoon. Close the lid again and let the cabbage sit in the hot soup for minimum 5 minutes.
- Serve the soup warm, and top with fresh coriander and black pepper.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
