Looking for the perfect cold-weather comfort food? Look no further than Instant Pot Tomato Soup. It’s the sped-up version of this classic soothing winter soup.
Instant Pot Tomato Soup
Tomato soup was a snow day staple when I was growing up. After playing in the snow with my siblings, we’d always trudge back in to find that Mom had made us bowls of tomato soup with, of course, grilled cheese cut into strips for dipping.
I’m sure it’s a touch of nostalgia, but as soon as the weather turns cold, I start craving tomato soup. There is something so intensely comforting about a bowl of this creamy, delicious soup. This Instant Pot Tomato Soup is the perfect way to satisfy my cravings on busy winter days.
I love that the Instant Pot allows me to sauté and pressure cook in the same pot. Fewer dishes to wash is such a time saver! And I love being able to walk away during pressure cooking instead of watching a pot on the stove.
This creamy, dreamy Instant Pot Tomato Soup is ready in a little more than a half hour, and it’s just perfect to serve along with grilled cheese or cheese and crackers.
There’s just something comforting about a steamy bowl of tomato soup and grilled cheese for a weeknight dinner. It’s simple, filling and completely satisfying all at once. And it’s the frequent request from at least one of the kids around our house.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, this soup can also be made on the stove top. For more comforting soups, you can find the entire collection of my best Instant Pot Soup Recipes on the blog.
