Directions

1. Dice onions, celery, carrots, and ham. Peel garlic and set it all aside. Rinse the beans to get rid of any debris that might be in the bag and set aside to let it strain.
2. Set Instant Pot to SAUTE and let it heat up. Add oil, onions, celery, and carrots and saute until veggies soften and start to golden. (If using ham bone, add ham bone to the pot.)
3. Press garlic and add it to the pot. Saute until fragrant.
4. Add diced ham, stir, and saute for a few minutes. Pour in beans, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, crushed red peppers, and salt. Don't forget to taste to make sure you have enough salt.
5. Stir, close the lid and make sure it's latched. Turn the valve to "SEAL" and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high pressure cook mode for 30 minutes.
6. Let it do a natural release for about 10 minutes and then do a quick release. Be careful opening the lid.
7. NOTE: don't forget to discard the bay leaf and ham bone if using.
