Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery sliced
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves

  • 2 (15 ounce cans) diced tomatoes
  • 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
  • 2 cups macaroni pasta
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Select sauté and add olive oil to the inner pot. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery; sauté for 3 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
  2. Press cancel and pour in the broth. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Add the oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaves, and stir to combine.
  3. Add the beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste, but don’t stir (this prevents the tomatoes from getting to the bottom of the pot, where they might burn.)
  4. Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; set the pressure to high and the time to 5 minutes. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealed position. After cooking, naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  5. Unlock and remove the lid. Select sauté. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
  6. Let the soup come up to a simmer, then stir in the macaroni.
  7. Let the pasta cook for 7 minutes. Press cancel and stir in the parmesan cheese.
  8. Serve immediately, or place the soup in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
