Ninja Foodi Tomato Soup Recipe
Description
The Ninja Foodi Tomato Soup Recipe combines roughly chopped fresh tomatoes with sautéed onions and garlic, simmered in vegetable stock and enhanced with tomato paste and paprika for depth. Salt, pepper, and optionally brown sugar balance acidity, while the cooking in a pressure cooker concentrates the flavors quickly and evenly.
After pressure cooking, the soup is blended smooth and enriched with heavy cream for a creamy mouthfeel and garnished with sliced fresh basil for a fresh herbal aroma. The result is a well-rounded tomato soup with a subtle smoky and sweet undertone from the paprika and brown sugar.
This tomato soup is suitable as a comforting starter or light meal. It can be paired with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich. The use of fresh ingredients combined with the electric pressure cooker method makes it accessible for home cooks seeking rich flavor without extended cooking time.
Ensure the pressure cooker valve is sealed before cooking. Natural pressure release for 10 minutes followed by quick release helps maintain texture. Adjust seasoning after pressure cooking as desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 4-6 garlic minced or crushed, cloves
- 500ml vegetable stock low-sodium, approx. 16 oz
- 1.2 kgs tomato approximately 42 ounces, fresh
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon paprika smoked or sweet
- 1 teaspoon salt (use more or less, to taste)
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- basil sliced julienne style, to strips, a handful, fresh
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes, remove the stem end, and roughly chop, catching any juice that comes out.
- Set your Ninja Foodi or electric pressure cooker to the saute function. Heat the cooking oil and saute the onions until translucent and fragrant (about 4-5 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute.
- To prevent burning, add the vegetable stock and deglaze the pot, making sure to scrape any bits sticking at the bottom.
- Top with the fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar (optional) . Do not stir.
- Stop the saute function and change to the pressure cooking function.
- Close the pot using the pressure cooking lid, making sure to set the valve to the sealing position. Press the pressure cook function, and set the time to 15 minutes. See notes.
- Once the cooking time is over, allow your Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot, or other electric pressure cooker to naturally pressure release for 10 minutes before doing a quick pressure release.
- Open the lid, stir and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy. If preferred, pass the blended tomato soup through a sieve for a smoother soup.
- Stir in the cream, check for salt, then transfer to bowls. Garnish with sliced basil, then serve with some garlic baguette, croutons, grilled cheese sandwich, or as preferred.
Notes
- Before starting pressure cooking, verify the lid valve is set to the sealed position to ensure proper pressure build-up.
- Natural pressure release for 10 minutes allows gradual cooling before quick release helps prevent splatters.
- Adjust salt and pepper after cooking to taste, since flavors concentrate during pressure cooking.
- If desired, omit brown sugar or adjust for less sweetness depending on tomato acidity.
