By:

Ingredients
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lb smoked sausage
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb dried small white beans
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
Instructions
  • Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  • When oil gets hot, brown the cut sausage on both sides. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
  • Add onion, carrots and celery to the pot and saute until onion is soft, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Put the sausage back into the pot, add sorted and rinsed beans and stir to combine.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/-keys and program the Instant Pot for 60 minutes.
  • When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Serve hot, alongside fresh cornbread (optional).
