1inchof freshly grated ginger OR 1 tsp of ginger powder
2tbsred curry paste
2tbssoy sauce
1/8-1/4tspof red pepper flakes *optional
Lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish
Roasted butternut squash seeds or pumpkin seeds for garnish
Instructions
Peel and cube the butternut squash and rough chop the onion. Pour the olive oil into the liner of the Pot and put the cut veggies into the inner liner of the Instant Pot. Season the veggies with the pressed garlic, grated ginger, curry paste and soy sauce. Pour in the veggie broth and give everything a good stir to combine. Then pour in the coconut milk. Do not stir.
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes. When the Pot beeps, do a quick release. Once it's done releasing the pressure, open the lid.
Either use an immersion blender and blend right in the inner liner of the Pot until smooth or carefully transfer the cooked squash and liquid into a good blender and blend until smooth. You can add a little more broth to thin it out if desired.
Dish it into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, roasted squash seeds and a few dollops of coconut cream. Enjoy!
