    Came out great! Substituted vegetable stock and used coconut milk instead of cream. Wonderful combination of flavors

    This soup is SO good, and i dont even like butternut squash. Really easy to make and very healthy. The combination of spices is really tasty. So happy I finally got an instant pot and this app makes it even better.

    Replaced butternut squash with delicatessa squash and added honey instead of maple syrup. Mild flavor with the spicy kick!

    Perfect for my first IP recipe! I substituted frozen diced squash and didn’t have cayenne. It is delicious!
