Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
3 (3.5 ounce) links mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 bulb fennel, finely chopped
3 cups chicken broth, divided
4 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, divided
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
½ teaspoon truffle salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once hot, add butter, followed by sausage and fennel. Stir and break up sausage.

Cancel Saute mode.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Meanwhile, combine remaining 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cans of beans in a blender; blend on high until smooth.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add pureed beans, thyme, and truffle salt to soup; mix to combine.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

The soup was good, but it was a little too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a bit thinner.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices.
