Instant Pot/Slow Cooker Tips

I’ve made this recipe several times in an instant pot/slow cooker. For pressure cooker setting: Add all ingredients to pot (except fresh basil) and set to 40 minutes on high – puree soup at very end with fresh basil. Slow cooker instructions: set slow cooker to either 2 hours on high or 5 hours on low – puree soup at the very end with fresh basil.
