This Instant Pot creamy tomato basil soup is unbelievable! It’s quick and flavorful and PERFECT for a bit grilled cheese dipping.

I like a superb tomato basil soup, and this creamy stress cooker model is so, so good.

Sprinkle a bit Parmesan cheese on high, get your bread or grilled cheese prepared, and put together to be amazed. This soup is luxuriously creamy and scrumptious.

Tips on how to Make Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Should you blink, you may miss the prep. It’s really easy!

1. Saute onions and carrots in a little bit of olive oil
2. Add the canned tomatoes, broth, basil, oregano, salt, and baking soda (helps neutralize the acid of the tomatoes!)
3. Prepare dinner on excessive stress for 10 minutes

After the soup cooks, let the stress naturally launch for 10-15 minutes earlier than unleashing the remainder of the stress by way of the valve. In any other case generally known as: fast launch.

Mix the Soup

At this level, the soup must be blended. I take advantage of an immersion blender for this job as a result of #easycleanup and #iamlazy however you may as well switch the soup to a blender in batches and puree till easy that means.

Simply take care and mix slowly (and vent the lid of the blender) as scorching soup may be harmful if left to its personal units.

Return the soup to the pot, if wanted, and add the flour + milk + cream combination.

A Few Ideas

Proceed to prepare dinner the soup till warmed by way of and barely thickened.

It is going to flip a beautiful shade of burnt orange and be tremendous, tremendous creamy.

As I’m typing this, I’m really questioning in the event you might save a couple of minutes by including the flour + milk + cream combination BEFORE mixing. Because it blends, it might thicken up properly that means for the reason that soup continues to be blisteringly scorching from the stress cooker. Should you attempt it, let me know! I’ll try it out, too.

What to Serve with Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

We virtually at all times throw a plateful of toasty grilled cheese sandwiches on the desk with this creamy tomato basil soup. This soup is an absolute marvel when paired with a grilled cheese sandwich.

There actually isn’t any higher scenario to search out your self in than dipping grilled cheese (medium or sharp cheddar just for me, fairly please) right into a bowl of tomato soup.

You can too serve the soup with croutons, toast, OR skip the carbs altogether. It’s wealthy and thick sufficient to face by itself, particularly in the event you throw a little bit of Parmesan cheese on high earlier than serving.

Complete Time: 1 hr

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup diced carrots
• ½ cup diced onions

• Add the tomatoes, broth, basil, sugar, salt, oregano, and baking soda. Give the soup a superb stir ensuring to scrape the underside of the pot totally.

• Safe the lid and prepare dinner on excessive stress for 10 minutes. Let the stress naturally launch for 10 minutes earlier than fast releasing the remaining stress (if liquid spurts by way of the valve, shut the valve, wait a couple of minutes and take a look at once more).

• Fastidiously use an immersion blender (or switch the soup in batches to a blender) to puree the soup till easy. Return the soup to the pot if utilizing a blender.

Tomatoes: instead of the three cans of diced tomatoes, you need to use one giant 29-ounce can plus one 15-ounce can. Diced or entire tomatoes work equally nicely right here. Utilizing a product like stewed tomatoes will change the flavour. I examined this recipe with common diced or entire tomatoes (nothing added). Don’t drain the tomatoes earlier than utilizing.
Cream: you may sub the 1 cup cream with half cup milk (the soup will probably be barely much less silky/creamy if doing so).
