What I love about this creamy tomato soup is that it’s made with San Marzano tomatoes which are a great alternative when fresh tomatoes aren’t in season. Also, this soup is made without heavy cream, instead I used milk. The milk tones down the acidity in these canned tomatoes and I also add a touch of sugar to balance out the flavors. And yes, I can assure you this soup is still creamy and delicious. If you’re looking to make tomato basil soup with fresh tomatoes, check out my Vegan Tomato Basil Soup which is made with roasted tomatoes, onions, and garlic. It’s just as delicious and you seriously don’t need any milk, cream, or cheese. 2. Now add garlic and onions. Season with salt and black pepper. Saute for 4 minutes – make sure the onions don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. (Image 2) 3. Next season with very little salt and black pepper. I recommend using less salt since you’ll be making this soup with vegetable broth which already contains salt. (Image 3) 4. Add sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste. Saute for a minute and press CANCEL on the Instant Pot. (Image 4) 6. Close the Instant Pot. Cook on High Pressure for 15 minutes and allow the steam to naturally release. (Image 6) 7. Once done this is what you should have. (Image 7) 8. Add fresh basil leaves and stir.

(Image 10) 11. Now slowly add room temperature milk a little bit at a time – by doing this slowly, you will prevent any curdling. (Image 11) 12. Here is the final result. Adjust salt as needed. Enjoy with cheese sandwiches. (Image 12) ✓ Milk – Make sure the milk is at room temperature. Also, add the milk little by little to the tomato soup mixing in between. This prevents the soup from curdling. ✓ Hand Blender – After adding fresh basil, use an Immersion Hand Blender to blend the soup. The consistency will be slightly thick with a little texture. ✓ Deglaze – After adding tomatoes and vegetable broth, make sure you deglaze the bottom of the instant pot to make sure nothing is sticking to the pot. → You may also add some freshly grated parmesan cheese. → My favorite way to enjoy Tomato Basil Soup is with a simple grilled cheese made with white bread, a little butter, Havarti cheese, fresh basil, and black pepper. This exact sandwich is shown in the images. → A light salad of your choice.
