Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes in juice
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. If roasting your red peppers, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and roast until blistered (20-25 minutes).
  2. Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil and cook the onion until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic for an additional minute.
  3. Add roasted red peppers, canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot; stir well.
  4. Close the lid and seal it properly. Set to high pressure for 10 minutes.
  5. Allow natural release for 5 minutes, then quick release any remaining steam. Carefully open the lid and blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender.
  6. Stir in cream or coconut milk and fresh herbs; adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot.
