InstantPot Coconut Curry Squash Soup

A hot bowl of soup - sometimes that's all you need. It has been snowy, cold, and more importantly grey these days, so comfort was a no-brainer for me. Even though the sun sets at 4:30pm, this InstantPot coconut curry squash soup is just as bright as a sunny day (cheesy, I know). Packed with warm spices like curry, cinnamon and nutmeg, it is full of flavour and very LOW on time!

What if I Don't Have an InstantPot?

Fear not! You can still make this soup. This soup is great made on the stove as well, it may just take a little bit longer for the butternut squash to soften up.

If you find yourself in time crunches for dinner often, much like I do, I would highly recommend getting an InstantPot. I am not being paid to advertise or endorse the InstantPot, but I do strongly feel that it is a versatile product that really does cut down on cooking times for so many meals.

How to Peel a Butternut Squash

My first tip to you, is to be sure you peel the squash. The skin of the squash is relatively thick, and unless you are slow-roasting it, the squash is best enjoyed peeled.

I have seen some people using their knife to remove the peel of the squash by cutting down the side, but I find that you end up wasting a lot of your squash (hello - student on a budget here)! My way of peeling it? A good old fashioned vegetable peeler.

Believe it or not, I recently found out that you can use a vegetable peeler BOTH WAYS. This was revolutionary to me, and maybe I am just a little too excited, but let a girl live!
