Follow The Directions

01

Step

In your pressure cooker, combine the prepared tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Seal the pressure cooker and cook on medium pressure for 3 minutes, following the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Carefully perform a quick release to vent the pressure, then remove the lid. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently stir in the baking soda; the mixture will bubble. Continue stirring until the bubbling subsides. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Add the milk and heavy cream to the tomato mixture, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Return the soup to medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Be careful not to boil. (10 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, roast the tomatoes before pressure cooking. Toss with olive oil, herbs, and garlic, then roast at 400°F (200°C) until softened.
Adjust the amount of cream to your preference. For a lighter soup, use half-and-half or simply omit the cream altogether.
Garnish with fresh basil, a swirl of cream, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an elegant presentation.
Feel free to add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are particularly acidic. I like to add a bay leaf to add more depth to the soup.
