InstaPot Butternut Squash Soup

I’ve already done a couple videos that include roasting squash in the oven. While it’s delicious, it just takes so long! Cue the pressure cooker. I have been experimenting with this and it makes meals much faster once you get the hang of it. This whole recipe can be done by roasting the squash (and re-hydrated turnips) in the oven, and sauteing the carrots and onions on the stove top. If you have a favorite way of making squash soup, let me know!
