You don’t have to use a pot on the stove either. If you want a faster version you can make sweet potato cubes in Instant Pot, and then use your blender with milk(s). Another great option is to follow our pressure cooker pumpkin step by step for a fun Fall pureed soup.

Both root vegetables are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium, while butternut squash provides a healthy dose of vitamin E, vitamin B6, and folate. These nutrients contribute to maintaining good vision, supporting the immune system, and promoting overall well-being.

The foundation of a good pureed soup lies in the quality of the broth. Vegetable stock, or alternatively, vegetable broth, adds depth and flavor to the soup without overpowering the natural taste of the vegetables.

Simmering your vegetables like onions, carrots, celery, and herbs in water will break them down to become very soft. Adding vegetable stock makes the mixture the right texture to blend. Using alternative dairy products is a perfect choice for vegetarians and vegans.

What can you use to puree soup?

To achieve the smooth and velvety texture that characterizes pureed soups, an immersion blender becomes an indispensable tool. This handheld device allows you to blend the cooked vegetables directly in the pot, eliminating the need to transfer hot soup to a traditional blender in batches. The result is a creamy and consistent texture that will have you craving for more. A blender is my next choice.

In addition to sweet potatoes and butternut squash, other vegetables can be incorporated to create various delightful pureed soups. For instance, creamy tomato soup is a classic favorite, known for its tangy and comforting taste.

For those who enjoy a touch of decadence, drizzling a dash of high quality olive oil or adding a dollop of heavy cream to your bowl of pureed soup can elevate the taste to a whole new level. The olive oil imparts a luscious and fruity note, while the heavy cream contributes a luxurious creaminess that enhances the overall experience.

So, the next time you crave a hot and nutritious bowl of soup, try your hand at a carrot soup, green soup with the other type of cabbage or other produce.

• Place diced carrots and leek rings in a large saucepan. pour in olive oil.
• Sauté the vegetables until transparent.
• Cut the peeled potato and any sort of cabbage into small bite size pieces. Jamaican Cabbage will lend a ton of flavor and a bit of spicy.
• Place the vegetables in a saucepan, pour in the coconut milk and water.
• Bring the soup to the boil and simmer for 25 minutes on low heat with a lid on.
• Add the chopped thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes.

If you do not have an immersion blender or don’t want to use it right in the pot, a regular blender will work. I would highly suggest that you allow the mixture to cool quite a bit before pouring it in there though. Especially if yours is plastic you don’t want to risk melting the container or pop the top off with the steam.

How to make soup creamy

As for the liquid to thin it out that is up to you. Coconut milk will bring a creaminess to the dish and is also dairy free which is helpful to many. Milk works too, either cows milk, almond or cashew milk is extra creamy. Each one will add a different flavor to your meal so choose one that would pair well with the veggies included in the pot.

If you would rather use your pressure cooker to tenderize the veggies you can follow our Instant Pot vegetable cook times to jump steps. For this you want to just add water to steam. Then drain and add the coconut milk in when you blend to thin it out to your liking.
