Description

Instant Pot Copycat Nordstrom’s Tomato Basil Soup is one of the best tomato soups. So, I wanted to whip up a batch on this cold wintery day, so easy and so good.

Ingredients 

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 3 28 ounces tomatoes, crushed or pureed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  • Place your olive oil into the Instant Pot Bowl, and then press saute. Let the oil heat up for about 30 seconds, and then add your diced onions, shredded carrots, and dried basil.
  • Saute them for about 4 to 5 minutes, just until the onions get softened.
  • Then add in the tomatoes, chicken broth and mix well.
  • Mix in the heavy cream, be careful to scrape the bottom.
  • Set the timer for 5 minutes of high pressure, using the manual setting. Make sure that the vent is sealed.
  • Let the pressure naturally release. NEVER FORCE a lid off the pressure cooker or Instant Pot.
  • When it’s safe to open, and the lid comes off easily, open and look at your soup.
  • Use your immersion blender and blend until smooth.
  • Plate, serve and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Instant Pot, Pressure Cooker, or Ninja Foodi

Notes

Instant Pot Copycat Nordstrom's Tomato Basil Soup - Storage Instructions
Storing:
  1. Refrigerator: Allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. The soup should last for about 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
  2. Freezer: For longer storage, allow the soup to cool completely. Pour the soup into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags, leaving about an inch of space at the top for expansion. Label with the date and contents. Store the soup in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
Reheating:
  1. From the Refrigerator: Pour the desired amount of soup into a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also reheat in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every minute until hot.
  2. From the Freezer: If time allows, thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat as directed above. For immediate reheating, transfer the frozen soup to a saucepan and reheat over low to medium heat, breaking apart and stirring frequently, until heated through.
Tips:
  • When reheating, you might need to add a splash of broth or water to adjust the consistency, especially if the soup has thickened during storage.
  • Ensure the soup is heated to a safe temperature before consumption, ideally reaching 165°F (74 °C).
Enjoy your delicious and heartwarming Instant Pot Copycat Nordstrom's Tomato Basil Soup anytime you want with these easy storage and reheating instructions!
