This soup can be made in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I’ll give directions for both.
Of course I prefer making it in the Instant Pot because it’s so easy. This soup isn’t a difficult recipe to begin with, but cooking it in the Instant Pot made it even easier!
This is one of my favorite soups to take to work for lunch. It reheats really well and I never get sick of it.
I used fire roasted tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes. They give it a great flavor.
There’s not too much I needed to do to make this recipe low in points. One thing was I didn’t use a lot of butter, only 1 tablespoon.
Also, instead of using heavy cream I used fat-free half and half.
This recipe is also easy to double, I’ve done it many times. I didn’t need to change the cook time in the Instant Pot.
Here is a video of me making the soup:
