Fall is definitely in the air. Fall weather means pumpkin spice recipes, it also means more soup! I decided to combine those worlds with this recipe. I also added sweet potatoes as another veggie to the mix.

I love to use the Instant Pot to make baked potatoes and sweet potatoes. It truly saves so much time! It takes 45 minutes to an hour to bake sweet potatoes in the oven. You can make them in the Instant Pot in ⅓ of that time.
If you don't have an Instant Pot you can use a slow-cooker to prepare this recipe. You can also cook it on the stove.
How Do You Cook Pumpkin in the Instant Pot?
For fresh pumpkin, you will need to use the trivet rack that comes with the Instant Pot. For every 2 pounds of fresh pumpkin, you will need ½ cup water. Place the pumpkin flesh on the trivet and pressure cook for 15 minutes.
Pureed pumpkin is used in this recipe. It can be cooked for 5 minutes in the Instant Pot.
How Do You Make Pumpkin Soup From Scratch?
Follow the instructions above using fresh pumpkin. Add spices to the soup and pressure cook in accordance with instructions noted below.
What Spices Do You Add to Pumpkin Soup?
I like to use cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt and pepper.
How Long Does it Take to Cook Pumpkin in an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker?

Debbie Savage says
I have an instant pot and though I am still learning to use it - it is one of the best kitchen tools I have. This recipe for pumpkin and sweet potato sounds so delicious!!! I need to try this!
Sabrina Kirk says
Your pumpkin spice soup looks very easy. However, you say use 1 can of broth - how many oz are you talking about - cans come in all sizes!
Your recipe would be even better if you were more specific in the amount of the ingredients needed. Besides the pumpkin you could say how many oz by weight for the sweet potato. And maybe mention how many oz or cups for the onion rather than saying 1/2 an onion.
Also there was no link to your video presentation.
Thanks for the recipe - looking forward to making it soon.
staysnatched says

Martha says
I count freestyle points with weight watchers and I need to know how many ounces are in those two medium sweet potatoes.
staysnatched says
The ounces will vary. You should weigh the sweet potatoes you purchase and input that actual weight into your calculator.
Jennifer says
This soup is amazing! I finally bought an Instapot but only because I started following Brandi. I love her recipes!
staysnatched says
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Debbie says
How would you change it to cooking on the stove? I really want to try this recipe.
staysnatched says
You would cook it until the sweet potatoes are soft.
Stone says
I made this today. Followed the recipe exactly except added a bit more cinnamon. It was really bland. I’m hoping if it sits in the refrigerator for a couple days it will be better.
staysnatched says
All potatoes are bland. If it doesn’t suit your taste add more spice.
