Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Soup is one of my favorite things to eat. Whether I am eating it ahead of my meal or as my meal, soup is always a great go-to. This Creamy Tomato Basil Soup is great. If you aren't a fan of tomato soup. try Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup,, Bacon Cheeseburger Instant Pot Soup Low Carb Keto or Easy Country Chicken Noodle Soup, they are all great.
This soup recipe was made in the instant pot, we love ours around here. We use it for Extra Creamy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese , Instant Pot Salisbury Steak and many other great recipes. I haven't tried making any desserts in it yet, but I plan to venture into that soon. Accessories for making cheesecakes or pies need to be purchased first.
Normally, if I want tomato soup, I'm a basic Campbell's girl. I usually prefer it made with water and served with grilled cheese on quality white bread and maybe a few saltines. When I started looking for soup recipes to make in the instant pot this one caught my eye.
Making this soup is fairly simple, it can be ready in 30-40 minutes. You can modify the recipe to fit your own personal preferences.
I decided at the last minute to add the cream cheese and make it creamy. With or without it, it is great. I also garnished the soup with croutons and parmesan cheese, making it extra tasty.
