Recipe Tips

Delicious Variations

- Add sweetness – feel free to add some maple syrup or honey to taste.
- Add extra heat – a dash of hot sauce, chipotle, red pepper flakes or cayenne will add that little extra heat if you prefer.

Meal Prep With Pressure Cooker Tomato Soup
One of the best things about this pressure cooker tomato soup is that it is a true ‘dump and start’ recipe. This makes it suuuuuuch a great meal prep solution since you can easily whip up a batch whilst doing other things.
I have even been known to make multiple batches in a row then store some in the fridge for the coming week and the rest in the freezer for later. Because having healthy, hearty and delicious soup at the ready is a huge stress relief for those busy days…and weeks. #amiright?
Storage
Store
- Store – Make ahead, cool and referigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze – Transfer into these very handy Ziploc freezer bags. Squeeze out all the extra air and seal the bags. Label the bags and then lay them flat in the freezer. Store your Instant Pot Tomato Soup in the freezer for 3 months.
- Thaw – Thaw overnight in the fridge. For a faster thaw, you can place the soup into a microwave and thaw according to the microwave’s instructions.
- Reheat – Transfer thawed tomato soup into a microwave-safe bowl and reheat in a microwave. Or reheat in a saucepan over low to medium heat.
FAQs
Yes, just leave as is and don’t blend.
Absolutely – you might just need to thicken it a bit by reducing the broth. You might also need to add a little extra spice.

Serving Suggestions
- For the ultimate comfort food combination, serve a bowl of this with a crunchy Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
- Or, pair up this with a Perfect Instant Pot Baked Potato.
- And if not vegan, this with Frozen Air Fryer Pizza, Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings, and Crunchy Healthy Turkey Salad is just lovely alongside a cup of this.
