Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 (28-ounce) cans San Marzano Whole Tomatoes
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 sweet or yellow onion, peeled and cut into 4 chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half

Instructions

  1. To the pressure cooker pot add broth, tomatoes, butter, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper; don’t stir.
  2. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 15 minutes.
  3. When cooking is complete, use a natural release for 5 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion chunks.
  5. Blend soup with an immersion blender or a high-speed tabletop blender to get it extra smooth.  Add ¼ – ½ cup of cream and add extra salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot with crusty bread, grilled cheese, crackers, etc. or just sip it up all on its own!

Notes

The onion is cooked with the soup for flavor, then removed before blending so it doesn’t have too strong of an onion flavor.
