Copycat Panera Harvest Soup Instant Pot Recipe image

The comfort and taste of Panera Autumn Squash soup can be made quickly in the Instant Pot!

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup pumpkin purée
16 oz frozen butternut squash
1/2 cup frozen carrots
1/4 cup diced Onions
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese
1/2 cup apple juice
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream + 1 teaspoon sugar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Curry powder
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 Tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except corn starch and butter in Instant Pot.
  • Cook at manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Do five minutes of natural pressure release and then quick pressure release the rest.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend up the soup until smooth - alternatively, you can place in a regular blender (carefully) and blend as well.
  • After smooth, turn Instant Pot to saute. Once it starts to bubble, add butter and corn starch and quickly whisk to combine until thickened.
  • Serve with pumpkin seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Use a variety of squash that is best for soups, such as butternut squash, acorn squash, or kabocha squash.
  • Roast the squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality one. You can also use chicken broth or water, but vegetable broth will give the soup a more flavorful base.
  • Add some spices and herbs: Spices and herbs can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The squash should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked squash will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include croutons, bacon bits, chopped nuts, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Harvest squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is a great way to use up leftover squash and is also a healthy and nutritious soup. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying harvest squash soup that the whole family will enjoy.
