My wife has been bugging me for some time now to make her some tomato soup. So here is my Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Soup recipe that I made for her.
I'm constantly amazed at what you can make in your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. I mean look at all of these Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Recipes I have published so far.
Just like most recipes made in the Instant Pot, this one is pretty simple to make. After you saute the veggies for a few minutes, it only needs 6 minutes at high pressure to cook. However, it will take over 15 minutes for the pressure to naturally release.
I personally like to use fresh roma tomatoes when making this soup but you can also use plum tomatoes. Whatever you have on-hand will work to keep this recipe as simple as possible.
