RECIPE BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour the liquid into a Instant Pot. Position the bone-in chicken breasts in the liquid in a crisscross pattern (rather than stacking them on top of each other) so that steam can circulate among them. Sprinkle the top of each with 1 tsp dried seasoning blend and 1/4 tsp salt (if using). Lock the lid onto the pot.
• Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 35 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
• Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers Press Poultry, Pressure Cook or Manual on High pressure for 40 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. (The Valve must be closed)
• Use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of a couple of the breasts, without touching bone, to make sure their internal temperature is 165°F. The meat can be a little pink at the bone and still perfectly safe to eat, so long as its internal temperature is correct. If the internal temperature is below 165°F (or if you’re worried about the color), lock the lid back onto the pot and give the breasts 3 extra minutes at MAX, or 4 minutes at HIGH. Again, use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal.
• Use kitchen tongs to transfer the breasts to serving plates or a serving platter to serve. Or cool them at room temperature for 10 minutes or so, then store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except thyme leaves in inner pot of a 6-quart Instant Pot.
• Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Turn the steam release handle to “Venting” position. Press [Slow Cook], and use [Adjust] to select “Less” mode.
• Press [-] or [+] to choose 6 hours cook time. When time is up, turn cooker off. Remove lid. Discard bay leaf.
• Purée squash mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
• Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired. Enjoy!
