Spring break has come to an end, and I wanted to ease into the week slowly with a simple soup. Lots of leftovers are key for me getting back into the swing of things. They make for easy lunches that I don’t have to think about.
Chop, dump, set and forget. That’s the beauty of an instant pot! This is a big recipe so the preheat took about 30 minutes. But, the cook time was only 5 minutes! And it was perfectly cooked.
If you don’t have an instant pot, just cook this in a large pot or dutch oven for about an hour, or until the veggies are tender and sausage is fully cooked through.

Directions
- Combine the celery, onion, leeks, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, garlic, beans, tomatoes, stock, dried Italian herbs, and whole Italian sausage links, if using.
