This Easy And Delicious Instant Pot Tomato Soup is a staple around our house!  Not only do we love tomato soup around here, but we also love tomato soup’s best friend; grilled cheese sandwiches! This is tomato soup is in our monthly rotation of faves.  If there are leftovers; I freeze them and use them as a base for vegetable soup.

As with many of my favorite recipes; one of my favorite features of this Easy And Delicious Instant Pot Tomato Soup is it’s versatility.  You can dress it up or down as much as you like.  You can add vegetables or your meat of choice to bulk it up and make a whole new meal for your family.  Making homemade croutons gives a great, elegant feel to this soup as well.  Know that, because you are using fresh ingredients, this soup will not be as red as you may be accustomed to with store-bought tomato soup.  You will get a much better flavor, though, that cannot be matched in canned soup.

Cheese is a great companion to all things tomato.  My kiddos love it when I top their soup with their favorite cheese.  Using mozzarella or Swiss cheeses adds a fun feel to this soup.  It also adds a bit of extra protein if you’re looking to bulk up the soup as a meal.  Adding meatballs or chicken breasts  is a great way to bulk this tomato soup up.  .

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• Add the onion once the oil is hot and saute two minutes until onions are clear
