• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)

• 1 15-ounce can Canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

• 1 Bay leaf
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Set your pressure cooker to 'Sauté' mode and add olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add diced onion, carrots, celery, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with juice), vegetable broth, kidney beans, cannellini beans, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf.

Step 5

Close the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to the 'Sealing' position. Pressure cook on 'High' for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully perform a 'Quick Release' by turning the valve to 'Venting'. Open the lid once it is safe to do so.

Step 7

With the pressure cooker back on 'Sauté' mode, stir in the frozen cheese tortellini and chopped spinach.

Step 8

Simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the tortellini is fully cooked and the spinach has wilted.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
