Bowl of tomato soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Start by setting your pressure cooker to the sauté mode. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Next, add the canned tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Close the lid of your pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure for about 10 minutes.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 5 minutes, then use the quick release method to release any remaining pressure.
  6. If you’d like a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream and blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender for blending.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil. Enjoy this delightful soup with a slice of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for the perfect meal!

Now you can relish a comforting bowl of tomato soup in just under 30 minutes. It’s perfectly balanced and can easily be adjusted to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
