Why this works

Velvety, bright and rich with a whole cup of Parmesan. Cream cheese makes it creamy without any flour, and the Instant Pot does most of the work. One batch serves 12, so there's plenty for the week.

Add the broth a little at a time while you whisk. It's what stops lumps.

Method

01
Sauté the butter, onion, garlic, basil and oregano for 4 minutes, until the onion is soft.
02
Whisk in the cream cheese, then the broth a little at a time. The whisk is what stops lumps.
03
Add the tomatoes, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pressure cook for 8 minutes, then quick release.
04
Blend until smooth. Top with more Parmesan and fresh basil.

Good to know

Roasted garlic is sweeter and softer. Minced raw garlic works if that's what you have.

Blend it in the pot with an immersion blender to save on dishes.

Check the tomatoes. Pick canned tomatoes with no added sugar.

Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently and stir.

Questions

Before you start

Can I freeze it?

Yes, though soups with cream cheese can turn a little grainy. Whisk well while reheating.

Can I halve it?

Yes. Halve everything and keep the same cook time.
