Description

A red and green tomato and cheese soup that is like velveeta-rotel dip in a soup form. A dump and go soup to feed a crowd!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Italian stewed tomatoes with juice
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel Original tomatoes with green chilies with the juice
  • 1 (12 oz) bag of tri color spiral shaped pasta
  • 16 ounce Velveeta cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp fresh basil
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting and pour in the broth. Let the broth warm up as you get out the other ingredients. 
  2. Add in the diced tomatoes, Italian tomatoes and Rotel tomatoes. Dump in the pasta and the Velveeta. 
  3. Cancel off the saute setting. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the soup button to 0 minutes (yes zero). 
  4. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve back and forth from sealing to venting until no foam spurts out. Then move valve to venting and let all pressure release completely. Remove the lid.
  5. Stir milk, basil and cayenne into soup. 
  6. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Crockpot Instructions:

  1. Add broth, all the tomatoes, velveeta and pasta into slow cooker. 
  2. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until pasta is cooked through. (All slow cookers cook differently)
  3. Stir in the milk, basil and cayenne.
  4. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Notes

This soup is best served immediately as the pasta will soak up all the broth and it will be more like a pasta dish than a soup.
