Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil and chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

  3. Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and sugar. Stir everything together to combine.

  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil or croutons if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a thicker soup, blend a portion of the soup or add cornstarch dissolved in water.

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or chopped jalapeños.
