Easy Instant Pot Sweet Potato Soup recipe. Made with pantry essentials, this dinner idea makes for great weeknight comfort food.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who is fully embracing fall now that it’s September, while totally ignoring the non-fall weather we are having.
It’s just that, I’ve been waiting for this season ALL YEAR. And after the year we have had, 2020 seemed like it lasted at least 5 years.
So let’s begin my favourite food season! Starting with this Instant Pot Sweet Potato Soup.
While maybe not technically a fall flavour, this soup has Thanksgiving written all over it.
And, as a Canadian (even if I do live in the USA right now) as soon as September hits, I start thinking about Thanksgiving.
Only one month away, and I know that this soup will be on the menu!
Plus it’s so easy to make! All you need is:
- sweet potatoes
- butter
- onions
- garlic
- salt and pepper
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- vegetable broth
That’s it!
Typically when I want some sweet potato soup, I turn to my trusty sweet potato cauliflower soup. But this week I was all out of cauliflower, and I didn’t really want to stand over my stove and look over a soup.
This soup was the best of both worlds. So creamy and made in the Instant Pot to make things easy.
Get ready for more fall recipes this month! Because you can bet that I’ve been ready for MONTHS now.
