  • Opt for canned whole tomatoes or crushed tomatoes of good quality, preferably without added sugars or excessive sodium.
  • If using whole canned tomatoes, you will need to blend the soup.
  • Canned tomatoes can be acidic, so balance the flavor with a pinch of sugar. Taste and adjust as needed.
  • While you can prepare this with water, vegetable or chicken broth add depth to the soup. This complements the canned tomatoes and elevates the overall flavor.
  • Add more stock if you want a thinner soup, and less stock if you prefer it thicker.
  • Use an immersion blender directly in the Instant Pot or transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Exercise caution to avoid hot splatters, and blend until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Cook time listed does not include the time it takes for Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for the pressure to release.
