Vegan Friendly Instant Pot Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

This morning I spent a good thirty minutes sitting in my car after church trying to figure out what to make for dinner. My vegan friends are coming over tonight, and I had no idea what to make that both they and my carnivorous boyfriend would enjoy. I decided on butternut squash soup as a starter (because I had half a butternut  squash sitting on my counter that needed to be used) but with beans to add a bit of creamy heartiness.
