Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 1 large carrot, diced

  • 1 stalk celery, diced

  • 2 pounds butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil and add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until translucent and tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add squash, thyme, and marjoram; cook until the squash has begun to sweat and absorb the flavors, about 5 minutes more. Pour in broth.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Blend with an immersion blender until creamy.
