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.
💭 Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
The Instant Pot is a combination pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer with a few other capabilities.
With an Instant Pot, you can make some recipes in minutes compared to hours the traditional way. While not always the case, it's a very handy appliance if you are always on the run.
The Instant Pot comes with several safety features. If you happen to encounter an error message on the display of your IP, I suggest you visit Instant Pot's Official Customer Care Center.
If you frequently use your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, you've probably experienced a "smelly" lid. Here's a simple way to get rid of the smell.
Fill the Instant Pot with 2 Cups of White Vinegar. Seal the lid. Use the steam setting for 2 minutes. Remove the rubber ring from the lid and let dry completely before using it.

I loved making this instant pot creamy tomato soup. I had never used the pressure cooker part of my instant pot so decided to make this recipe. It took me no time at all and it was very delicious. It was very fast to make when I got home from work and my husband wanted some soup for dinner.
