01

Step

Engage the 'Sauté' function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and introduce the olive oil. Once heated, gently sauté the chopped onion and garlic for approximately 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Introduce the sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper, and salt. Stir continuously for 1 minute, ensuring even distribution of spices. Turn off the cooker. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 3 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate vessel, dissolve the vegetable bouillon in hot water. Pour this aromatic broth into the pot, followed by the fresh orange juice. Delicately scrape any browned remnants from the pot's bottom to infuse a deeper layer of flavor. Secure the lid, ensuring it's locked in place. Select 'high pressure' mode and set the timer for 10 minutes, adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines. Allow the pressure to build for approximately 10-15 minutes. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Cook time: 25 minutes)

Step

Employ the quick-release method with utmost caution, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, allowing approximately 5 minutes for pressure release. Once fully depressurized, unlock and carefully remove the lid. (Release time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Employ an immersion blender to transform the soup into a velvety, seamless elixir. Gently incorporate the heavy cream, stirring until fully integrated. Sample the creation and, if desired, adjust the salt content to achieve your desired harmony of flavors. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
