Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup sliced celery
  • ½ cup sliced carrots
  • 10 medium garlic cloves ((peeled and coarsely chopped))
  • 6 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup raw cashews ((must be raw))
  • 6 oz. can tomato paste ((no sugar added))
  • 1 tsp. salt ((plus more to taste after cooking))
  • 2 tsp. Italian Seasoning ((store bought or see link above))
  • 4 cups vegetable broth ((no sugar added))

Instruction

  • Pour the oil into the IP insert, place inside the IP and press the saute button.
  • When the oil has warmed, add the onions, celery, carrots and garlic cloves. Cook until the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally to keep things from burning.
  • Turn the IP off and add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine everything and then secure the lid and vent.
  • Press the Manual button and adjust time to 10 minutes. 
  • Once the IP has finished, allow a natural release to happen for about 15 minutes. Then you can do a quick release for the remaining steam.
  • Using a hand blender, blend the soup directly in the IP until it's completely smooth. (about 1 to 2 minutes).
  • Season to your liking with salt and pepper and serve with homemade, whole grain croutons or a side of crusty, whole grain garlic bread.
