Instant Pot Tomato Soup

This creamy tomato soup is a classic comfort food that's perfect for lunch, dinner or a cold and rainy day. It's delicious on its own or served up with a side of gluten-free French bread or grilled cheese. Serve it up in just about 30 minutes with both Instant Pot and stovetop step by step directions. 

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 large sweet onion peeled and chopped
• 3 stems celery washed and sliced
• 1 cup spinach finely chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh Thyme
• 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp dried ground oregano
• 3 tbsp coconut sugar optional and can omit or use brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Instant Pot Tomato Soup

• 1 tbsp garlic minced
• 2 cans stewed tomatoes 14.5 oz cans or about 3.5 cups
• 1 can tomato puree 28 oz can or about 3.5 cups
• 1 can tomato paste 6 oz can or about 3/4 cup
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Gather your ingredients together.
2. In the bottom of the Instant pot with the setting on 'SAUTE' melt butter, and add the chopped onion, and celery, and saute until golden brown. Add the finely chopped spinach and parsley, and cook until wilted and a little brown.  Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Turn SAUTE setting off, and add the fresh thyme.
3. Stir in the chicken broth, and add the stewed tomatoes, tomato puree, and tomato paste, and stir well until tomato paste is melted into soup. Add the water, and stir. 
4. Add the Italian seasoning, oregano, and coconut sugar. Stir well to blend all ingredients. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and make sure the pressure valve is set to 'SEALING'. Press the MANUAL setting (high pressure) for 15 minutes. Remember it takes the Instant Pot about 10 minutes to come to pressure.
5. When the Instant pot is done, beeps, and goes to OFF, do a quick release by turning the pressure valve to 'VENTING' - making sure you use a pot holder or oven mitt to turn the valve. When all the pressure has been released, and the float valve is down, remove the lid to the Instant pot, and stir the soup.
6. Add the cream, and stir well, and add the minced garlic and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite soup toppings.
