Tomato Bisque

Ahhhh, tomato bisque.  Grown up tomato soup.  Perfect for a chilly evening.

2 28oz cans crushed tomatoes  (If you like it a little chunkier, use 1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes and 1 28oz can of diced tomatoes.  But we prefer it smoother so I use all crushed.)

1 Tbsp. crushed or minced garlic

2 cups chicken broth

3 Tbsp. sugar

1/3 cup butter, cut into cubes

1 cup heavy whipping cream

15-20 fresh basil leaves cut julienne, OR 1 Tbsp. dried basil, or OR 1-2 drops of Young Living Basil Vitality

Your favorite croutons, grilled cheese, pesto, and/or shredded parmesan cheese.

Pour the tomatoes, broth, and garlic into your Instant Pot liner.  If you are using dried basil or basil vitality, add it now.

Place the lid on your Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing.

Press the "Soup" button and adjust the time to 20 minutes.

Once it's done, do a Quick Release.

Stir in the sugar.

Then the butter cubes.

Then slowly whisk in the heavy whipping cream.  

If you're using fresh basil, you can add it now.

Serve hot with any or all of the toppings listed.  It's also great with a nice caesar salad!
