ingredients
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 sweet yellow onion peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth more for thinning, if desired
- 3 large carrots peeled and chopped
- 28 oz canned San Marzano tomatoes whole and peeled, or diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper*
instructions
- Turn on Instant Pot to Sauté setting and add oil. Once oil is hot, add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Deglaze the bottom of the insert by adding 1 cup broth. Scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon or spatula, making sure to get all the browned bits off the bottom. This will help you avoid the "burn" warning during cooking.
- Stir in carrots, tomatoes with their juices, sugar, tomato paste, fresh herbs, and spices.
- Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Let pressure naturally release (i.e. don't touch it!) for 10 minutes. Manually release any remaining pressure.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. You can also puree it in batches in the blender or food processor.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. I have a bunch of notes above for flavor variations! See below for tips on adjusting the consistency.**
- Serve with crusty bread, grilled cheese sandwiches, and/or salad.
notes
*Season to taste! I use 1/2 tsp and 1/4 tsp pepper to start off. I usually end up using 1/2 tsp pepper for a little more kick, or you can add in 1/4 tsp cayenne for a spicy kick.
**If you like your soup thinner, simply add more broth! Start by adding 1/2 cup of broth, then continue to add 1/2 cup at a time (up to 1 1/2 cups), until it reaches your desired constitency. Be sure to taste and adjust seasoning once you are done adding broth.
