Tomato Basil Soup - a deliciously creamy comforting food that can easily be prepared in Instant Pot. This soup is so creamy & full of flavors that it will taste like a restaurant-style soup and is made using all the fresh ingredients.
Using Saute setting of Instant Pot, add oil to the inner pot. When the oil is hot, add onions and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add celery & carrots to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes till they turn a bit soft.
Add diced tomatoes and mix, and also add Bay Leaf & Cinnamon to the pot.
Close lid and with the vent in the sealing position, pressure cook for 8 minutes. When the timer beeps, NPR (No Pressure Release) for 10 minutes and later Quick Release.
When steam is released and the valve goes down, open the lid. Remove Cinnamon & Bay leaf from the pot and add dried Basil & Oregano to the pot.
Grind it smoothly using Immersion Blender or any other Grinder you prefer. Next, add Milk/Broth/Stock to the pot and keep stirring in between.(Note: You Can use 2 Cups of Cream or 2 Cups of Milk or 2 Cups of Broth. Or can also mix them together in any ratio and add to the pot. I usually add 1 ½ Cups of milk with ½ Cup of Broth and 1-2 tablespoon Cream in the soup).
Next, add Honey, Garam Masala Powder, Salt & Pepper and keep stirring until it comes to boil.
Add Parmesan cheese and let it cook till the cheese melts and add fresh Basil Leaves before serving.

Notes
You Can use 2 Cups of Cream or 2 Cups of Milk or 2 Cups of Broth. Or can also mix them together in any ratio and add to the pot. I usually add 1 ½ Cups of milk with ½ Cup of Broth and 1-2 tablespoon Cream in the soup.For little sweetness in the soup, I add Honey. It gives a nice tone and also balances the flavor.Vegan:To make the recipes Vegan, add Coconut Milk instead of milk/cream and Parmesan Cheese and also don't add Honey.Adding fresh basil leaves gives a nice freshness and adds flavor to the Tomato Soup.I have made this recipe using my Instant Pot Duo60 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker.If you like this recipe, Please RATEby clicking the Stars or leave FEEDBACK!
