Step 1
Start by melting the butter in your pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, cooking and stirring until the onions turn translucent, which should take about 10 minutes. Toss in the potato, celery, green onions, and garlic, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until they start to soften. Next, add the carrots and vegetable stock, then crank the heat up to high. Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it in place. Set the valve to high pressure (around 15 psi), and once it reaches pressure, lower the heat to medium-high and let it cook for 7 minutes.

Step 2
When the time's up, carefully move the cooker to the sink and run cold water over the lid to release the pressure quickly. Once it’s safe to open, take off the lid and stir in the cream and curry powder. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s completely smooth. Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
