This week I made my favorite tomato basil soup that I used to simmer on the stove for an hour and Cream Cheese Chicken and Black Beans. The chicken recipe at the link is for the slow cooker and cooks about 4 hours, but I've converted it and modified it below to make a great heavy h'ors d'oeuvres in about 15 minutes of cook time!

Select Sauté on your Instant Pot. Add oil and heat until shimmery.
Add carrots, onions, and basil. Sauté about 4 minutes or until onions become translucent.
Add crushed tomatoes and chicken broth.
Lock lid and close pressure valve. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow full natural pressure release.
Turn Instant Pot off and then set to Sauté. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Add cream and stir to heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
