Instant Pot Tomato Soup
Description
Instant Pot Tomato Soup uses fresh garlic, onion, and a combination of plum or Roma tomatoes cooked together with dried herbs like basil and oregano. The soup is sautéed first to soften the aromatics, then sealed in the Instant Pot to pressure cook and intensify the tomato flavors. White wine vinegar and tomato paste add brightness and depth before cooking. After pressure cooking, heavy cream is stirred in and the soup is blended to create a creamy, smooth texture that balances acidity and richness.
The final soup yields a velvety consistency with subtle herbal notes, and can be served on its own or paired with bread or sandwiches for a light meal. It suits home cooks seeking a make-ahead tomato soup requiring minimal hands-on time.

Instructions

- Pour in the white wine vinegar and allow it to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Pour in the tomato paste, vegetable broth and chopped tomatoes. Turn off saute on the instant pot.
- Give the soup a gentle stir and close the lid. Set the nozzle to sealing on the top. Set the instant pot to manual / high pressure for 14 minutes. Allow the instant pot to come to pressure and cook for 14 minutes.
- When the instant pot beeps, manually release the pressure with the nozzle on top. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Place the immersion blender into the instant pot and blend until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender you can use a standard blender and blend in batches.
- Serve with heavy cream or creme fraiche, salt, pepper, and fresh basil!
