2 cups chopped baby portabella mushrooms
1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped

Instructions

To saute the veggies and the sausage, you can do it directly in the Instant Pot (on the saute setting) or do it on the stovetop in a deep saute pan. Melt the butter, then add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, then add the garlic, celery, mushrooms and peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms and peppers are tender. Stir in the sausage and cook a little longer.
Add the pork juice, broth, beans and seasonings. Put the Instant Pot on the Pressure Cooker setting for 50 minutes, make sure the dial is turned to the Sealing setting, cover and let cook.
When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally. (Releasing the pressure will take 20 – 30 minutes.)
Taste the bean soup and add salt, pepper, hot sauce and/or creole seasoning to taste.
