The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER

August 28, 2018 by Jill 1 Comment

I know the title of “The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER” is pretty bold but I am pretty darn confident about the awesomeness of my tomato soup. I know, tomato soup is not a particularly difficult thing to make and that the Food Network is PROBABLY not going to be calling because I’ve perfected the art of tomato soup making…although you never know…but I really do make the best instant pot tomato soup EVER.

How to make the BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup Recipe EVER #InstantPot

It could be that I’m so stoked about this recipe because everyone in my family loves it and asks for seconds. It takes very little time to make and the ingredients are pantry stock for me, which means I always have the things needed to make this soup on hand.

The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER

This Instant Pot Tomato soup can be the kind of soup you eat out of Tupperware bowls while standing at the kitchen counter because you’re rushing from one place to the next or the kind of soup you put in fancy crockery and garnish with homemade cheese croutons and a sprig of fresh herbs and you’ve got a first course for your dinner party…if you’re a dinner party kind of person.

The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER

Ingredients:
1 can, 28 oz, crushed tomatoes
2 cans, 14.5 oz each, diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic spices
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
fresh basil
1/2 cup half and half
 
The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER

I like to use the minced garlic that comes in a jar. It tastes better than garlic powder and it’s a great go-to when your don’t have fresh.

Directions:

Add cans of tomato, garlic and broth to an instant pot and mix well. Stir in oregano, salt and pepper and mix well. Place top on the instant pot and seal. Close the pressure release valve. Set the instnat pot to manual, high pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release the steam when the cooking cycle is done.

Open the pot and stir in sugar. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in basil. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup smooth. Stir in half and half and serve.

The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER

If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can put your diced tomatoes in a food processor before adding them to the Instant Pot. You can also leave the diced tomatoes as-is for a chunkier soup, although we prefer it smooth.
 
DON’T skip the sugar or use a substitute like Stevia or Splenda. The sugar is needed to cut the acidity from the tomatoes, not to make the soup sweet (which it is not) so a sugar substitute isn’t going to have the same impact.
 
The BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER
 
Serves 4-6
 
I’ll be over here waiting on the accolades to roll in. It really is the BEST Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER. This is our go-to dinner for the fall evenings where my boys have football practice. It’s easy, it’s fast, and it warms their tummies after they’ve been running around outside in the cold night air. And when I say cold night air, I mean like 60 degrees. That’s Texas cold – we’re wimps like that. It’s easy to assemble before I take them and I can cook and serve while they’re showering and changing.
 
Best Instant Pot Tomato Soup EVER, I tell ya.

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen be Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before: my bottom teeth.
.
I always hide my crooked bottom teeth in pictures and I’m super self-conscious when I talk. So I did something about it.
.
I wore braces as a kid and my top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth are shifting and one tooth is traveling into the back of my mouth and I have some crowding. My orthodontist said it’s very unusual to put braces on just half your mouth but my bite is still aligned so they didn’t have to put them on my top teeth - my wallet is thankful.
.
Questions I’ve already been asked:
.
1️⃣ At your age? Yes, at my age. I still care about my smile. 
.
3️⃣ How long do you have to wear them?
.
6-9 months.
.
3️⃣ Do they hurt? 
.
My teeth are sore and my mouth is tender but not to the Tylenol level so I guess the answer is “Not too much.”
.
Other questions? Advice?

Little things can really be big - do you agree? M Little things can really be big - do you agree?

My husband gets up with our kids twice a week and does their breakfast and morning routine and takes them to school so I can sleep in. I don't laze away the morning in bed - it usually amounts to about an extra hour of sleep for me and a little more peace and quiet as I start my day. 

This probably seems like a little thing but this is huge for me. The mental benefits of not having to set my alarm on a schoolday is truly my love language. I would rather have sleep than flowers or presents. 

On those morning where my husband takes my kids to school, I will inevitably find the kitchen not "just so." There will be spills on the table or something that didn't get put away. I resist the urge to be sarcastic or to ask "Um, is there a reason we have four boxes of cereal just sitting on the counter?" or point out that it would take less than 30 seconds to wipe a tabletop or put a box back on the shelf. I resist saying stuff like "I guess if I want it done a certain way, I have to do it myself." I don't even say that to myself. 

My husband isn't "doing me a favor" by taking care of our kids. When I talked about being stressed and tired during an argument last year, he offered to take some things off my plate and giving me two mornings where I don't have to set an alarm was one of his ideas. It's part of the give and take of marriage and even though it makes me clench a little when I see spilled milk or stuff that hasn't put away, I appreciate having a partner who shares the load with me. 

My marriage definitely is not perfect and I'm in no position to give relationship advice. But for us, this one little thing is a really big deal. 

And, as I've recently discovered, a cereal box can sit on the counter for several days and the world doesn't explode. Who knew.

Anyone else having massive “This time last year” moments?
.
2020 started out so fine. We extended our kids’ winter break to take them on a Disney Cruise- no better reason than that, amiright- and I was excited about all the Disney Cruise blog posts I was going to write. Disney Cruises are (errr...were?) one of the most searched terms on my website and how a lot of people found me.
.
Early 2020 was such a time of hope and light that pretty much everyone took for granted.
.
While it’s become glaringly obvious the change in the calendar isn’t a magic potion, I still have hope for this year and still believe there magic yet to happen.
.
You know...the good stuff.

We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the holidays and finally dug into it this weekend. Our box had a cold-weather theme which was perfect for this cold weather we're having (flurries in San Antonio can you believe it?!)

Each box contains three recipe cards, a culinary tool, an iron-on patch and Table Talk conversation starter cards. A shopping list is included and also emailed to you in advance in case you want to be ready to cook as soon as your box arrives. You buy all the groceries yourself. 

We made homemade chicken and dumplings this weekend and they turned out amazing. If you need modifications (i.e. gluten or dairy free) you can hop on to the @raddishkids website and go to the "Bonus Bites" section. You'll find modifications, food videos, extra recipes, parent info and more fun stuff. 

The price ranges from $20-$24 per box depending on what type of subscription you choose. Boxes are designed for kids 4-14+ with varying degrees of supervision needed depending on your child's skills and age. Kyle and i have done two meals from this box - we still have cookies left to make - and worked together about 50-50. It was a lot of fun.

I think today would be better if I could hang out I think today would be better if I could hang out with donkeys all day. 

There's a reason animals are used in therapy - they are both comforting and fun. This picture was from our October outing to Wassermann's Wranch outside of Alpine (in West Texas.) I love my beautiful state and the landscape of West Texas fascinates me because it's so different than what I see every day here near San Antonio.

Wassermann's Wranch is located just a few miles outside the city. It's a private hobby farm that sees visitors by reservation. It's absolutely worth planning your day around and you can check out more in my blog post linked in my bio.

I didn't realize I liked donkeys until I got to know these guys. The owner, Heidi, told me "I think you might be a donkey chick."

I think I'm OK with that.
