Instant Pot Red Pepper Tomato Soup Ingredients
Tomatoes are the base of the dish. However, you will not be using tomatoes in that way. Instead, you will use only a can of tomato paste. The flavor will be strong enough to come through in the end.
The list of products is important though, each ingredient will enhance the flavor of the tomato and add its own twist to the dish. You will need onions, garlic, fennel, carrots, and roasted red peppers.
You will also need some herbs and spices like red pepper flakes, sea salt, and thyme. Altogether, these ingredients really make for a fantastic bowl of freshly made soup.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 small fennel bulb, coarsely chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 roasted red bell peppers, chopped (fresh or jarred)
- 1 can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 32 ounces vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional (the peppers will make it spicy)
Directions
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the Instant Pot and press the sauté option.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, fennel, carrots, fresh thyme & salt & pepper to the Instant Pot and sauté until translucent or about 5 minutes.
Turn off sauté and add balsamic vinegar, roasted red peppers, cannellini beans, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, and vegetable broth.
Close the Instant Pot and switch the setting to manual and put the timer on 7 minutes.
Once the timer is done and the steam has released you can transfer the soup to the blender or hand blender and blend.
The soup will be very hot so you can let it cool before blending or blend in batches. I use a Vitamix for blending soup which I absolutely LOVE!
Note: The total time is approximately 20 to 30 minutes which includes the sautéing.
