Steps:

• Stir in vegetable broth, diced and crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, salt, and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour until a smooth, thick paste forms, about 3 minutes.
