This instant pot Italian chicken and tomato soup is the perfect anytime soup! I’m talking a year-round soup – perfect for all seasons! It’s hearty and filling and yet somehow also light and fresh. It tastes like chicken soup AND it tastes like tomato soup. It’s chicken tomato soup! With Italian seasoning! (I realize I probably sound way too excited about soup… but good soup can be exciting). This is a dump and cook recipe. You literally dump the ingredients into the pot and cook – it couldn’t be easier! I mean, maybe it could be easier if you had a robot to prep the ingredients, dump them into the pressure cooker, and press start for you. I feel like that’s not too far off… personal assistant robots that help you with life. Is there a kickstarter for this? If so, sign me up. I know that it’s not soup season, but I actually like eating soup in the spring/summer. Cold soup is nice (like gazpacho) and warm soups are also nice as long as they are light like this chicken and tomato soup. Topping this soup with fresh basil makes it taste so bright and fresh. This recipe is low carb and paleo-friendly but you’ll like this dish even if you’re not following those diets. You can also add some sweet corn to this soup! We do that sometimes and it’s so delicious. In fact, I’d say adding fresh corn will make it taste even more summery. Also, try not to skip out on the toppings that I list below. Fresh basil leaves add a lot of flavor and a necessary summery feeling – especially if you’re eating this on a hot day. And parmesan and ricotta… I mean, need I say more? You’ll love that salty umami cheese-y flavor that it adds to the soup! Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
