Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, ghee for DF and Whole30
  • 1 cup white onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup basil
  • salt + pepper, to taste
  • 8 cups tomatoes, chunks
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened coconut milk (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (Omit for DF, Whole30)

Instructions

  • Turn the instant pot on sauté mode. Add oil and butter or ghee as you dairy-free option and sauté until melted (2 min)
  • Add in onion and sauté until translucent (3 min)
  • Add garlic, oregano, season with salt and pepper, add basil leaves and sauté (2 min)
  • Add in tomatoes and vegetable broth.
  • Cancel sauté mode, turn venting knob to lock position and cook on high pressure (HP) for 12 minutes. When done, allow for 10 mins of natural pressure release (NPR), then release remaining pressure if any left.
  • At this point you can either use an immersion blender or pour into a regular blender and pulse until there are no chunks left.
  • Turn instant pot on sauté mode once more. Add in the coconut milk for creaminess and if dairy isn't a concern, add in the parmesan cheese for extra flavor. Stir, cook for up to 5 mins and serve.

Notes

  • Paleo and Whole30 tomato soup - Replace the unsalted butter with ghee. Also, make sure your coconut milk doesn’t contain any off-plan ingredients. 
  • Dairy free and vegan tomato soup - Replace the unsalted butter with your favorite non-dairy butter substitute and omit the parmesan cheese.
  • Low carb Instant Pot tomato soup - Use heavy cream instead of coconut milk for a high fat, low carb variation.
