Here’s the best homemade creamy tomato soup recipe I’ve found. Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Dill Soup is a quick tomato soup recipe made with canned tomatoes.
Not exactly a healthy tomato soup because of the cream, you’ll find it to be a warm, comforting and satisfying soup that your Instant Pot can have ready in mere minutes.

Howdy! Chef Alli Here. Let’s Get You Cookin’….Shall We? ?
I am forever grateful that there are so many easy Instant Pot soups that can be made in minutes! We always enjoy a good, comforting soup since the winter season here in Kansas is especially cold due to the humidity.
Instant Pot Sausage Bacon and Potato Soup really hits the spot, and so does Instant Pot Chicken and Noodle Soup, a family favorite around here.
If you enjoy Mexican-inspired soups, be sure to whip up a pot full of Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup.
After I make my Instant Pot Holiday Ham, I use the ham bone to to make a big pot full of Instant Pot Ham and Bean Soup. My boys aren’t fans, but I am!

Recipe Tips for Making Creamy Tomato Soup with Canned Tomatoes
Be sure you don’t add the whipping cream before you pressurize the Instant Pot. Any dairy products needed in Instant Pot recipes should always be added after the pressurizing process.
If you are using half-and-half or fat-free half-and-half instead of whipping cream, you’ll need to thicken the soup with a cornstarch slurry.
To make a cornstarch slurry, combine 2 Tbs. water (or broth) with 2 Tbs. cornstarch in a small bowl, whisking until smooth. Add the slurry, a little bit at a time into the hot soup, stirring until the soup thickens. **The soup will also continue to thicken as it cools.
How to Make Instant Pot Creamy Dill Soup in 5 Steps
- Place the stewed tomatoes and all their juices into the bowl of a large food processor; process until smooth.
- Using the sauté setting on the Instant Pot, add the desired amount of butter; when the butter is hot, add the scallions, celery, and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the salt, sugar, dill and pureed tomatoes with juices to the Instant Pot. Securely lock the Instant Pot lid into place, choosing the high pressure setting for 5 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure. When the timer sounds, perform a quick release to remove all the pressure from the Instant Pot.
- Carefully unlock and remove the Instant Pot, gently giving the soup a stir. Pour in the whipping cream and stir once again.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve the soup at once. Garnish with croutons, if desired.

Alli, My wife and I are 75 year old retired empty nesters. Jan has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension a rare and possibly life ending illness. I have frequently done breakfast and lunches but not much on dinner. I need to learn to fix some basic meals that could fill out our weekly supper schedule. I was in hope that you would be teaching again as you did in the past at HyVee. There must be a number of guys out there with a similar need. Thanks, Mike Locke [email protected]
