I have several tomato tortellini soup recipes I have shared before. Some have meat and some don’t. Some yoiu make on the stove top and some you make in the slow cooker. However, just like yesterday, I’m trying to find recipes for the Instant Pot that are like the recipes I love. Enter in this Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup.

It seriously just takes 6 minutes to make plus the time it takes your Instant Pot to come to pressure. This has a creamy tomato base. The base includes chicken broth, cruched tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, whipping cream, and Parmesan cheese. This base could even work on it’s own.

However, there are tender tortellini with cheese filling floating in that sea of creamy tomato goodness. Orinially, this recipe called for less tortellini. After making it, I knew this Instant Pot creamy tomato tortellini soup needed more!
