1. Place instant pot on sauté mode. Add in pancetta, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 2 to 4 minutes. Turn off sauté mode.
2. Add carrots, celery, tomatoes with juice, and beans. Pour broth over the mixture.
3. Stir in thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour in water to instant pot fill max line.
4. Place lid on the instant pot and set to high pressure for 5 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting release the pressure.
5. Pasta can be cooked on the stove during this time. If you would like to cook it in the instant pot. Set the soup to sauté mode and add pasta. Pasta will cook as the soup comes to a boil. We don't cook it in the same pot as the pasta will expand over time and can become mushy if you plan to eat the soup as leftovers.
6. Serve topped with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
