Instant Pot Copycat Nordstrom’s Tomato Basil Soup is one of the best tomato soup. So, I wanted to whip up a batch on this cold wintery day, so easy and so good.
If you have never heard of Nordstrom’s Tomato Basil Soup, it’s famous. It was ranked as one of the tomato soups in the world. After making this recipe, I can tell you that it’s probably the shredded carrots that make this soup. It is a rich, and creamy soup served with a hint of basil.
I first had this soup back when I was a child, and my parents brought me to New York City to do some back to school shopping. We ended up at the Nordstoms, and of course, my mother wanted to have lunch there, so we both ended up with the famous Tomato Basil Soup and a Cranberry Turkey Sandwich, they were both amazing.
