Instant Pot® Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 25 min | Yield: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Jennie-O Turkey Sausage (*optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 ounces Cabot Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 4 cups fresh cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup light cream
- 4 ounces baby greens (spinach, kale, chard, etc.)
- 4 ounces (1 cup) Cabot Farmhouse Reserve Cheddar, grated
- Freshly chopped basil for garnish
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot® on to Sauté mode. Once hot, add the olive oil and turkey sausage (if using) breaking the sausage into small pieces as it cooks with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Add onions (or start with this step if not using sausage) to the pot once sausage is mostly browned and continue cooking another 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic, cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant then add tomato paste, red pepper flakes, dried basil, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and broth to the pot and give everything a few stirs until well combined.
- Place the lid of the Instant Pot® on and set valve to sealing position. Press manual pressure cook button and set to 15 minutes.
- When Instant Pot® signals the end of the cooking time by beeping, release pressure manually by carefully turning the valve to venting position.
- Slowly remove lid once pressure is fully released and turn the Instant Pot® back on to Sauté mode.
- Add the cream cheese to the pot and stir for a few minutes until dissolved in the soup.
- Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to package directions for al dente, usually about 7 minutes for fresh tortellini.
- Add the cream and baby greens, stir until incorporated and greens begin to wilt.
- Turn the Instant Pot® off and add the grated cheddar just before serving. Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped basil.
Notes
* For a vegetarian option - omit turkey sausage and use vegetable broth.
