There are few dinners more comforting than a big mug of warm tomato soup
. Bonus points if it’s homemade! And if you have an Instant Pot,
homemade soup is a breeze. REALLY! Yes, you can make homemade Instant Pot tomato soup. It’s easy peasy.
I love making homemade soup
. I usually follow my grandmother’s model of throw whatever you have on hand in a pot and let it simmer away into something comforting and delicious.
I wasn’t sure what to put in my tomato soup besides well…tomatoes, though. After a quick Google search I got to work and made up the recipe as I went along.
Serve this with grilled cheese sandwiches for the ultimate comfort meal. Or a simple green salad for a lighter touch.
This homemade tomato soup recipe was a big hit! My daughter’s best friend was over for dinner and said I should be a chef at Panera
! That’s high praise from her!
What are your favorite soups?
No Instant Pot
? You can make it on the stovetop in a large stockpot
. (But, seriously, consider an Instant Pot! They are awesome!)

I love tomato soup but I haven’t tried making it yet. Now that I got a second crockpot for xmas I plan on using it more.
I love my crockpot. I got it for my wedding, so it’s 14 years old!
