Turn the saute function on the instant pot and add the coconut oil. Once the instant pot reads "hot" add the onion and garlic. Saute until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Press "cancel". Add all the remaining ingredients in the instant pot placing the bay leaves on top. Secure the lid, close off the pressure valve and press the Soup button and set the time for 15 minutes.
Once it is done cooking, do a quick release. Open the lid and remove the bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Taste the soup to see if it needs any additional salt or pepper.
Enjoy!
