Turn the Instant Pot on saute and heat olive oil for one minute, until shimmering.
Add carrots, onion, and celery, and saute for about five minutes until veggies begin to soften, stirring frequently.
Stir in garlic and mushrooms and saute for another minute, then hit cancel.
Add broth, tomatoes, beans, and spices.
Stir, close lid, and set valve to sealing.
Set Instant Pot for manual high pressure for 10 minutes. (Hit the manual button, use the + – buttons to bring the time to 10 minutes, then hit the manual button again to start.)
When the Instant Pot beeps, quick release the pressure.
When it's finished releasing and the pin drops, open lid and stir in spinach until wilted.
