This Creamy Tomato Soup is super easy to make in your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Ready in less than 30 minutes!
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.

How to Make Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Soup
