easy instant pot fresh Tomato soup recipe

Fresh Tomato Soup is the perfect appetizer, side, or main when partnered with a crunchy butter cheese toast sandwich. My kids love to dip the freshly toasted bread in the soup and scoop out a bit of the cheese toppings as they devour both the soup and the toast. The soup itself fresh from the instant pot is another example of time saved and taste achieved. If you find you have a busy week of balancing household chores with work and feeding the family use the Instant Pot and get some of the time in the day back for yourself. Tomato soup is a simple and affordable dish that the entire family can enjoy.

We enjoy ours with a bit of extra cheese and a couple additional basil leaves to help elevate the fragrance and taste of this time saving soup de jour. Be sure to watch the video and check out the instructions below to start your next fooodilicious adventure.

Grilled cheese that is dipped into tomato soup is the perfect combination.

Ingredients

Place the baking sheet in middle of the oven. Roast in the oven for ~10 minutes. Then, broil on high for ~10 minutes (keep a close eye on them, remove once a bit charred).

Roasted tomatoes, onions and garlic.

Place the roasted tomatoes in the pressure cooker. Pour chicken broth and sugar in the cooker. Stir and mix. Place the lid on. Pressure cook on high for 1 minute and natural release for 10 minutes.

Using a handle blender (if you don’t have one, wait for 10-15 minutes to cool down before transferring the soup to a regular blender), puree until smooth.

Strain the tomato soup, using a fine wire mesh.

Return the soup to the cooker.

Serve with cracker, grilled cheese or bread.
