Notes
- How To Make This Bean Soup In The Instant Pot:
- How To Make This Bean Soup In The Slow Cooker:
- Sausages you can use: Italian sausage, chicken sausage, kielbasa, andouille, or any smoked sausage.
- Set the instant pot on to the Saute function. Heat the oil, then add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Add the onion, carrots, bell pepper, celery, garlic, spices and herbs and saute for another 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened and are translucent. Turn off the pot.
- Add the chicken broth, bay leaves and beans to the pot. Cover the IP with the lid and seal to lock. Press the manual pressure cook button and set the timer to 15 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, move the valve to "venting" to release the rest of the pressure. Remove the lid, garnish with parsley and serve.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and cook the sausage until browned, over medium-high heat. Transfer the sausage to your slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker, except the parsley. Stir everything together.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours, or on LOW for 8 hours, or until the beans and vegetables are tender.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
