For Instant Pot Method:
Using sauté function, add ground protein, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, wine, and soy sauce to Instant Pot. Sauté ingredients until your protein is cooked through.
Add celery, peppers, corn, and mushrooms to protein mixture.
Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup. Add kidney beans and sprinkle in chilli powder. Give your chilli a good stir and cover.
Set Instant Pot to either slow cook or pressure cook and allow ingredients to come together.
