This creamy Instant Pot Tomato Soup<\/strong> is a family-favorite recipe made with fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, and parmesan cheese for an added savory flavor. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Why You\u2019ll \u2764\ufe0f This Recipe<\/strong>: This soup comes together in a snap and is made with simple ingredients that you may already have at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We started making this parmesan tomato soup during a year with a bumper crop of tomatoes in our garden. If you have a big tomato harvest, this is a perfect way to turn them into a delicious dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Update: <\/strong>This year, we had to harvest all of our tomatoes early because of an upcoming cold snap. (How is snow already on the forecast?!) So we made the most of it and updated the post with new tips and photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope your family enjoys it as much as we do!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The first step in making this soup is to prepare your fresh tomatoes. You\u2019ll want to remove the skin and core from the fresh tomatoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is easiest with a good, sharp knife, a pot of boiling water, and a bowl filled with ice water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf45 Watch a video on how to easily peel and slice your tomatoes on my other site, Barbara Bakes<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t want to skip this step, <\/strong>as the skin and seeds will give your soup a bitter flavor<\/a> and an odd texture! <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the soup is done pressure cooking, use an immersion blender to puree it into a smooth and silky texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love my immersion blender<\/a> because it blends everything smoothly without making another dish to clean. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you can also do this in an upright blender if you prefer. Just make sure the lid is on tight and you take breaks to vent the steam, as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip: For extra-creamy soup, use heavy cream instead of half and half!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The classic pairing with parmesan tomato soup is, of course, grilled cheese. We love to serve this soup with White Cheddar grilled cheese sandwiches made on Challah bread<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, if you\u2019re looking to mix things up, try these other delicious pairings with tomato soup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For toppings<\/strong>, I like to add a sprinkle of grated parmesan and fresh basil. For crunch, add a handful of crunchy croutons, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Certainly! If you don\u2019t have fresh tomatoes, you can substitute with two 15-ounce cans of diced tomatoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But if your garden is overflowing with tomatoes, or you have a farmers market nearby, make this soup while tomatoes are still at their peak. You\u2019ll be glad you did!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can store leftover tomato soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. It also freezes well. Simply let the soup cool to room temperature before freezing it for up to three months. When you\u2019re ready to serve, defrost the soup overnight in the fridge or reheat it right in your Instant Pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More Instant Pot Soup Recipes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
