Instant Pot Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Spice Soup
This always reminds me of fall. It's a creamy, but dairy-free, squash and pumpkin soup with holiday spices. It also happens to be paleo, and without the honey it's Whole30 friendly too! I make this in my Instant Pot pressure cooker where I just leave it under pressure for 15 minutes, puree, and it's ready. If you don't have a pressure cooker, there are also directions for using a medium or large pot below. Garnish with roasted, salted pumpkin seeds.
