Dump and Go Tomato Basil Soup in the Instant Pot
Hello Foodies,
This velvety vegan Tomato Basil soup is full of flavor and so easy to make! This is an easy, very tasty, and vegan soup recipe that I have made in my instant pot. It is so great on a cold winter day served with a soft and pillowy on the inside and crusty on the outside Homemade Bread Bowls.
The texture of the soup is nice and smooth especially with you dip freshly baked bread in the soup. Basil and Sugar are a flavor enhancer. I used an immersion blender to blend everything including the herbs together as we do not fancy the chunkiness. I then add the cashew cream. Watch the short video tutorial below and see how simple and easy this dish is!
The soup is delectably vegan, gluten-free, whole30 friendly, and no onion no garlic too. We’ve tried this scrumptious soup with heavy cream and also with cream cheese! The leftovers are amazing so feel free to incorporate this soup into your meal-prep routine or even freeze a bowl for busy weeknights!
This soup is outstanding, with simple ingredients ultimate flavor. You all give it a try!

Tips and Substitutes:
- If you do not have an immersion blender, allow the mixture to cool a little and transfer to a standing blender or mixer jar and puree until smooth.
- Using canned tomatoes makes this soup incredibly delicious and easy to make.
- Canned tomatoes are already peeled and ready to use.
- You can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes.
- The sugar helps cut the acidity, but you can leave it out.
- This soup is made with vegetable broth. However, for more flavor, you can use chicken stock, but the soup won’t be vegan.
- You can skip the sugar, but for that Panera style taste you need to add some, it brings the sweetness in the tomatoes and makes the soup tastes even better.
- This is a homemade no onion no garlic version of tomato soup, but you can play with it, add the onion and garlic.
