Check out this yummy instant pot tomato soup! We love tomato soup, especially with grilled cheese sandwiches. And I am a firm believer that soup, especially this one, is not just for fall and winter. Fresh garden-grown tomatoes are at their peak now and are sure to make this recipe truly delicious.
