The rich and creamy texture pairs perfectly with the tangy and sweet flavors of tomatoes, making it a go-to dish for chilly evenings. One way to elevate the flavor of this soup is to cook it in a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker helps to lock in the flavors of the ingredients and creates a beautifully smooth and velvety soup.
