For a richer flavor, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery in a tablespoon of olive oil directly in the Instant Pot® before adding the remaining ingredients. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, start with 1 teaspoon. If you don't have Creole seasoning, you can make your own blend using a combination of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper. For added protein, consider serving with plant-based sausage or a side of grilled tofu. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
