INSTANT POT® BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK

Instant Pot® Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Milk image

I do not like butternut squash soup, but I love this recipe. I adapted it for the Instant Pot® pressure cooker. You may garnish with unsweetened coconut flakes, salted peanuts, Parmesan cheese, or any other topping you think would add to your enjoyment.
