minutesZupas Tomato Basil Soup is one of my all time favorite things. I’ve tried several different recipes for Tomato Basil soup and I’ve liked some of them, but this hands down is my fav! It tastes exactly like it! Wahoo! It’s thick and creamy and fills my whole soul with comfort! Yum! Thanks to my sister for sharing it! The original recipe came from devourdinner.com. I like to use the S&W Tomatoes (Stewed Italian Recipe) and Costco’s Kirkland Basil Pesto, for the canned tomatoes and the pesto.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
3 stalks celery, diced
1 cup onions, diced
4 14.5 oz cans Italian Stewed Tomatoes
1 cup basil pesto
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Fresh Parmesan to garnish
Directions
- Place butter in the Instant Pot. Add celery and onions. Saute until soft, stirring often.
- Add canned tomatoes, pesto, sugar, salt and chicken broth. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, then quick release.
- Blend soup until smooth using an immersion blender.
- Stir in whipping cream.
- Serve with fresh parmesan if desired.
