This healthy 15 Bean Soup Instant Pot recipe is a meatless one-pot meal that cooks dried beans right in your Instant Pot with the soup.
15 Bean Soup Instant Pot Recipe
This Instant Pot soup starts with a package of Hurst’s 15 Bean Soup. It comes with its own seasoning packet, but we’re not going to use it for this recipe.
I used the6-quart Duo Plus Instant Pot for this soup.
This recipe uses a heaping pile of veggies, making it healthy and so nutritious.
How to Make Bean Soup Using Dried Beans In Your Instant Pot
First, we’ll saute the onion, celery, and garlic in your Instant Pot.
Next, dump everything except the tomatoes and lemon juice into the pot. I also recommend holding off on the salt and pepper until the end. Salt can prevent the beans from cooking properly, so it’s better to season your soup after they are cooked!
The beauty of the Instant Pot is that the dried beans don’t require any soaking at all! If you choose to soak your beans, you will need to adjust the cooking time.
Pour in your broth. Homemade broth is always best, giving the most amount of flavor, but I also use boxed low sodium chicken broth and, lately, I’ve been using Better Than Bouillon chicken base and it is delicious!
When everything is in your pot, it’s time to close the lid, make sure your valve is set to “Sealing”, and set your pot to cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.
When your pot alerts you that the cooking is complete, let the pressure naturally release for 20 minutes, then carefully open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
And you’ll be met with a beautiful pot of soup, but we’re not quite done yet.
Now, add in the remaining ingredients – lemon juice, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
You can choose to mash some of the beans at this point if you would like a thicker texture.
It’s perfect for a chilly evening, it freezes great, and it’s even more delicious reheated.
Serve it with some multigrain French bread or whole wheat crackers.
