Instant Pot 13 Bean Soup Recipes

INSTANT POT BASIC BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• This step is optional for extra flavor! Add the butter or olive oil to the Instant Pot. Hit Sauté and adjust so it's in the More or High setting. Once the butter's melted and the oil's heated (about 3 minutes), add in the onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Then, add in the garlic and sauté for 1 minute longer.
• Pour in the broth followed by the beans. Stir, secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, hit Keep Warm/Cancel and then hit Pressure Cook or Manual at high pressure for 35 minutes. When done, allow a 20 minute natural release (meaning you do nothing for 20 minutes) and then follow with a quick release.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove 1 cup of the beans and set aside. Take an immersion blender (suggested) or potato masher and purée/mash the beans into the soup. Then, return the reserved cup of beans (NOTE: Should you wish to have a thin soup without puréeing, simply skip this step).
• Add in any spices you see fit to taste (NOTE: see the yellow "Jeffrey Sez" section for what I used).
• Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

INSTANT POT® VEGAN 15-BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Combine rinsed beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, salt, paprika, and black pepper in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

INSTANT POT BEAN SOUP (ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• Measure out about 1.5 cups of dried white beans. Add unsoaked beans to the Instant Pot together with 5 cups of water. We're not adding salt at this stage as it tends to make the beans tougher. They will take on the flavor in the soup.
• Select Bean/Chili button on Normal mode (30 minutes, HIGH) or use the manual Pressure Cook button and adjust the time to 30 minutes on HIGH. The Instant Pot will take 15 minutes to come to pressure due to the amount of liquid. Once the timer has finished, release the pressure naturally for 15 minutes.
• Then strain the beans and rinse. They are now ready for adding to our soup!
• Rinse and wipe the pot clean. Place back in the Instant Pot and turn the Saute function on. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, onions and bacon and cook for 5 minutes, stirring a few times. Then press Cancel to stop the Saute process.
• Pour in 3 cups of stock and stir by scraping the bottom with a spatula.
• Add the pre-cooked or canned beans, chopped carrots, and tomato sauce. Stir through.
• Secure and lock the lid. Select Pressure Cook and adjust the time to 3 minutes on HIGH. Once the timer has finished, allow 5 minutes for natural release and then use the quick release to let off the pressure.
• Open the lid and stir the soup. Taste for salt and add black pepper or a pinch of chili flakes for an extra kick. Serve as is or garnish with basil or parsley if you have some on hand.

15 BEAN SOUP IN THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Start a pot of 10 cups of water to boil (using hot water will make the Instant Pot come up to pressure faster).
• Chop onions and carrot, mince garlic.
• Turn the Instant Pot on Saute, add the olive oil and heat until warm, then add onions and carrots and cook until the onions start to turn translucent, then add garlic and cook a minute longer.

• Set the Instant Pot on Beans/Soup setting for 30 minutes.
• After the timer goes off, turn the pot off for 10 minutes, then do a quick release of the pressure and take the lid off.
• Remove the hambone and discard, or pick some of the meat off and add to the soup if you'd like.
• Add the lemon juice, tomato soup and all of the seasonings, turn the pot on saute and cook for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

• Pour the beans and water into the colander. Rinse gently, drain and return beans to the crock pot.
• Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot and stir to combine.
