Ingredients

  • 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 (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
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. Cook, stirring, until sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1 cup chicken broth slowly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in 2 cans of drained cannellini beans. Cancel Saute mode.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Meanwhile, combine remaining 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cans of beans in a blender; blend on high until smooth.

Step 4
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.

Step 5
Ladle soup into bowls and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
