Instructions

Step 1

Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and bay leaf to Instant Pot. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Cover, place into lock position, and make sure the valve is in the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Remember that it will take about 15 minutes to come to pressure and then the time will start counting down.

Step 3

When timer goes off, let steam release naturally for 5 minutes. Then, do a quick release by turning the valve to the venting position and letting steam release until the pin drops. I like to place a folded kitchen towel over the valve so that it catches the steam.

Step 4

Remove lid and discard bay leaf. Using an immersion blender, blend soup until puréed. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can pour soup into a blender and blend until pureed.

Step 5

Add heavy cream to puréed soup and stir to combine. Garnish with fresh basil and/or Parmesan cheese, if desired.
