This Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup is a delicious and easy soup recipe.
One of the reasons I love to use my instant pot isn’t just because it’s wicked fast at cooking.
The instant pot is great at keeping food warm when you have people eating at different times.
Furthermore, my husband can have a bowl and then when my son gets home he can.
Additionally, the soup will keep for a few hours for added seconds.
The base of the soup is tomato sauce, garlic, and onion. Therefore it’s simply added to the instant pot and cooked under pressure for 2 minutes.
The rest is easy done on saute mode. Hence, no draining of water along with perfectly cooked and not soggy tortellini.
When it comes to this instant pot soup the best aromatics come from the fresh basil.
Therefore we keep a plant of fresh basil in the window for dishes like this. Additionally, it can be used for caprese or charcuterie boards when we have people over.
Hence, it’s also great for date night at home. My husband also loves dipping his grill cheese sandwiches into his soup. It’s so much better then can soup!
Lastly, did you know that the instant pot is one of the most bought items this year for Christmas?

Elizabeth Neas says
This recipe sounds awesome. I would definitely try it because I love tomato soup and tortellini. We enjoy soups when our weather is not as hot. Living in Louisianna those times are hard to come by so when we do have soup I want it to be delicious.

Hi Elizabeth, I totally understand about Louisiana weather because I live in New Orleans. It’s almost 70 degrees right now and suppose to be in the 80’s today. My family was just laughing because last Dec 8. on my birthday it snowed ..LOL this year I’m going to get rain and humid weather! Regardless, of the weather this soup is good. Maybe wait until we get some weather under 70 degrees to make it. Thanks for stopping over and have a great week!

Ashley Grant says
I never would have thought to add tortellini to a tomato basil soup. To me it seems like adding the grilled cheese I normally have on the side directly into the tomato goodness. Now that it’s finally cooling down a little here in Florida, I simply MUST try this recipe. It sounds sooo comforting.
