Instructions

Step 1

Turn instant pot to sauté mode. Once heated add in olive oil, onion and shallot (shallot is optional). Sauté for 1 minute. Then add in ginger, allspice, nutmeg, thyme, salt and garlic. Sauté for another 30 seconds. Add diced squash and apples, and then enough broth to just cover them. About 3 cups. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Once time is up, open the steam valve to release the pressure. If you would like it to be more creamy/sweet add evaporated milk (cream/coconut milk works too) & maple syrup. Then blend to your preferred consistency. Top with roasted pumpkin seeds & serve!
