This comforting and delicious soup tastes like fall. Spiced butternut squash soup is extra flavorful, and contains a gut-healing ingredient as well. I prefer to cook it in the Instant Pot, for a super quick and easy recipe. I used frozen butternut squash soup to make it easier (don’t forget that frozen produce is harvested at peak, and frozen within hours to lock in nutrients. Lazy girl fall is here. Surrender to it:)
