2 cloves of garlic
1 carrot
1 apple, cored
2 tsp of salt
Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and preparing your ingredients. Dice the onion and garlic, peel and chop the carrot, core and roughly chop the apple, and cut the pumpkin into manageable pieces.
Add the Vegetables: Now, add the diced carrot, apple, and pumpkin pieces to the Instant Pot. Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together to combine the flavors.

Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender directly in the Instant Pot to puree the soup until it's silky smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preferences.
