Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to SAUTÉ mode. Add olive oil.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze the pot by pouring in a splash of vegetable broth and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add the rinsed beans, remaining vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes (with their juices).
  6. Secure the lid and set the valve to SEALING. Cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 5 minutes.
  7. When the cooking time ends, allow for a NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE for 10 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  9. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sauté one chopped smoked sausage link along with the vegetables.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, remove about 1 cup of the cooked beans and liquid after pressure cooking, mash them, and stir the mash back into the pot before adding the cream.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day.
