This Instant Pot tomato soup recipe is one of the best tomato soups I’ve made to date!
Summer tomatoes are in abundance right now and I had a counter full of them. I needed a way to use them up, but it was 100 F. outside. Gotta love that California heat! (Not!) So I took out my trusty Instant Pot and started chopping veggies. The result was this wonderful, clean eating pressure cooker tomato soup that I served with a crusty, whole grain, garlic bread. Delicious!!
Why Make This Instant Pot Tomato Soup Recipe?
- Make the entire recipe in one pot from start to finish.
- Don’t heat up your whole kitchen.
- Use up the last of those summer tomatoes.
- Make a few batches and freeze for colder evenings.
- You don’t have to babysit it while it cooks.
Recipe Notes
- This will freeze pretty well for up to about 4 months.
- Depending on your blender, you may get it close to smooth, but not completely. If you can’t get it totally smooth, allow it to cool and transfer to a high power blender like a ninja or Vitamix, which can better finish the job. That being said, I didn’t do that and the little bit of texture from the nuts didn’t bother me at all.
