I finally broke down and bought an Instant Pot and truly I wish I had done it sooner! I love it.

This is a great Soup and its so easy, I buy the more expensive Fire Roasted Tomatoes as the quality is better Muir Glen Organics are good and so are the San Marzano ones.

To keep it Dairy Free add Plant Milk Creamer instead of the Cream Cheese.

Dice the Onion & peel and slice the Carrots.
Switch the Instant Pot to Saute and add about a Tablespoon of Oil .
Saute the Onions and Carrots until the Onions turn brown on the edges, about 5 minutes, add the crushed Garlic and continue to cook for another minute or two.
Add the Herbs and Seasonings and stir through for a minute.
Dump the remaining ingredients into the Instant Pot then seal and manually set timer for 15 minutes, let it release pressure naturally, it will take about another 15 minutes .
Add the Cream Cheese and using a stick blender (or let it cool and use a regular blender) blend until smooth.
Taste and season if necessary.
