Why Instant Pot?

I’ve wanted to create a creamy sweet potato soup, and using the Instant Pot makes it easy. I love making buffalo sweet potato soup in the IP because it takes just minutes to cook. And once you start the cooking process, you can walk away and come home to a ready-made comforting soup.

Lunchtime Delight

For lunch, I serve this soup as an entrée, topping it with chili oil, pumpkin seeds, gluten-free croutons, and a swirl of coconut cream. Don’t forget a slice of Gluten Free German Potato Bread.

Nutrient-Packed Sweet Potatoes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp. GF paprika
2 medium sweet potatoes, (about 1 lb.) peeled and diced
1 (13.5-oz) can full-fat coconut milk
2 cups GF vegetable broth or water
1 - 2 Tbsp. GF hot sauce (I used 2 Tbsp.)
1 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. GF Vegan Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp Sea salt
Handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Optional toppings; chili oil, pumpkin seeds, GF croutons, coconut cream

Instructions

  1. Set Instant Pot to sauté. Add olive oil, once heated add onions and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in paprika and turn the Instant Pot off
  2. Add all other ingredients, except the fresh basil. Cover, select the manual setting and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes
  3. Once done cooking, use the quick release function and release the steam
  4. Transfer to a high-speed blender and add basil. Blend until creamy. You can also use an immersion blender and blend the soup right in the Instant Pot. I used an immersion blender, less clean up :-)
  5. Taste and adjust salt if needed. If the soup is too thick add a little more broth or water until you reach desired consistency. Serve with desired toppings. Enjoy!
