Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon (1 g) dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 1 can cannellini beans (14 oz) drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups (946.35 ml) vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup (45 g) small dried pasta such as ditalini or small shells
  • Fresh basil and grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Set the Instant Pot to "sauté" mode and heat the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, oregano, basil, and salt. Sauté for 1 more minute.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), cannellini beans, and broth. Stir to combine.
  • Cancel "sauté" mode. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Once the cooking time is complete, do a quick pressure release. Open the lid and stir in the dried pasta.
  • Close the lid again and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
  • After the cooking time, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then do a quick pressure release.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and fresh basil for garnish.

Notes

  • Chop all the vegetables and measure out the ingredients before starting to cook for a smoother cooking process.
  • For a thicker consistency, mash some of the cannellini beans against the side of the pot with a spoon or blend a portion of the soup before serving.
  • Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your taste.
  • You can use another type of bean or pasta, as you prefer.
