  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot to the Saute function, and heat the oil.
  • Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent.
  • Add 1 cup of the broth to deglaze the pot, scraping everything off the bottom. Turn off the Saute function,
