Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup tubettini
2 ounces pancetta bacon, diced
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrots
½ cup diced celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups dried cranberry beans
1 cup canned diced tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in tubettini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add pancetta and cook until fat has been rendered, about 5 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and celery; saute, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth into the pressure cooker and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add remaining chicken broth, cranberry beans, diced tomatoes with juice, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
  • Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and close the valve. Select Manual pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Transfer 2 cups of soup, with as many beans as possible, to a mini food processor; blend until smooth. Place back into the pot and stir. Ladle soup into bowls, add the reserved pasta, and serve.
