FAQs & Tips
how to store instant pot tomato soup?
I recommend cooling your soup completely before storing it. To store in the fridge, use a ladle to spoon the cooled soup into an airtight container. Seal it tightly with the lid, then place the container of soup in the fridge. It will last up to 5 days in your fridge, and is GREAT for leftovers! To freeze this soup, pour it into a freezer safe airtight container, label it, and pop it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When reheating, you will want to do it over the stovetop on low heat or in the microwave, but be sure to stop frequently to stir as it thaws!
should I use Canned or Fresh Tomatoes?
For this recipe, you can get away with using either fresh OR canned tomatoes and it will taste delicious both ways! That being said, I recommend using fresh ones if you have them. The flavor will be better and taste more authentically italian if you go with fresh tomatoes for this Instant Pot Tomato Soup!
What to serve with Tomato Soup
