01 Step
Recipe View
Cut butternut squash into 4 pieces and remove seeds. Pour water into the bottom of a multi-functional electric pressure cooker and place trivet inside. Place squash on trivet, close lid, and set seal valve. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
02 Step
Recipe View
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain out the water and wipe the bottom of the pot dry. Remove squash skin and discard. Roughly chop any large pieces into smaller 1- to 2-inch chunks. Set aside.
03 Step
Recipe View
Select the Saute function and heat olive oil. Saute onion and garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add pears, salt, and sage; cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Turn pressure cooker off. Add the squash and chicken broth. Close lid and seal valve. Select high pressure; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
04 Step
Recipe View
Release pressure manually and remove lid. Blend soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Stir in heavy cream.
For a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the heavy cream, or replace it with coconut cream for a similar richness.
Roasting the squash and pears before pressure cooking can add a depth of flavor to the soup.
Adjust the amount of sage to your preference; a little goes a long way.
Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of crème fraîche for an elegant presentation.
