Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Soup

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.

💭 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.

🥣 How to make Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Soup

Heat the olive oil in the Instant Pot using the Sauté function. Add the chopped onions, and garlic and cook for a minute. Add in carrots, celery and tomatoes to the pot.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir it making sure nothing is stuck to the bottom of the pot. Press cancel and close the lid with vent in sealing position.
Start the instant pot in manual mode at high pressure for 6 minutes. One completed, let the pressure naturally release. This can take over 15 minutes.
Open the lid and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture to the desired consistency. If you don't have an immersion blender you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend the soup in batches.
Stir in the heavy cream and the cheese. Let simmer for another couple of minutes until the cheese is well incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Optionally garnish with cilantro, grated cheese and/or croutons.
