Hello friends! Let me brighten your day a little bit with a delicious, smooth, super healthy soup that is PACKED full of veggies. The flavor in this soup is complex and deep – you’d never guess it was just a mix of veggies that our Instant Pot has worked some major magic on!
The weather has actually been super warm here lately, but yesterday and today have been 50s and rainy, and it’s making me embrace the soup season for just a liiiiitttle bit longer. And this is the perfect soup for a rainy, cozy night!
This bisque is absolutely delicious all by itself, but it’s ten times more delicious when you serve it with a side of crusty, buttery bread (that you’ve maybe rubbed with a clove of raw garlic after it’s toasted, BUT I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE OKAY).
It would also be the perfect soup to serve along side a sandwich, especially if that sandwich just so happens to be a grilled cheese that you can dip into the soup as you eat it. Just a mild suggestion because I love you and want only your happiness…
Let’s talk ingredients here, fam:
- Zucchini
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red bell pepper
- Onion
- Basil
- Garlic
- Veggie broth
- Olive oil
Bing, bang, bong – throw it into the Instant Pot, puree with some olive oil once it’s cooked (olive oil emulsifies it to give a creaaaammmy feel), and you’ve got a super simple, super healthy dinner that will nourish your body and your soul. Got deep there, but I stand behind every word.
