Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Instant Pot Tomato Soup.
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the Sauté function.
Step 2
Drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the chopped celery, carrot, onion, and garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about five minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften and release their delightful aromas.
Step 4
Next, pour in the vegetable broth, along with the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, crushed San Marzano tomatoes, and tomato paste.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the dried basil, salt, and pepper for that extra flavor kick.
Step 6
Once everything is combined, close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot.
Step 7
Select the high-pressure setting and set the timer for six minutes, allowing about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
Step 8
While your soup is cooking to perfection, melt some butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 9
Whisk in the flour to create a smooth paste, cooking it gently for about three minutes until it’s just right.
Step 10
When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for two minutes, then carefully turn the valve to vent any remaining pressure.
Step 11
Now comes the fun part! Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until it’s beautifully smooth.
Step 12
Switch the Instant Pot back to the Sauté function and set the timer for three minutes.
Step 13
Stir in your flour paste, mixing continuously until it’s well combined.
Step 14
Gradually pour in the milk, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese, sugar, and red pepper flakes if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 15
Taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
Step 16
Stir everything together until it’s heated through and perfectly blended.
Step 17
Enjoy the comforting warmth of your homemade soup, and savor the delicious flavors you’ve crafted!.
