Instant Pot 15 Bean Soup
On a cold winter’s day, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup. This Instant Pot 15 Bean Soup is the perfect no-soak recipe that you can make in a fraction of the time in the pressure cooker compared to the stovetop. Vegan, gluten-free, and so delicious.
Winer has hit hard this year, and there’s no better time than now to cook that bag of 15 bean soup you’ve stashed in your pantry.
A bag of 15 Bean Soup is a common American staple food, although you can also find 14 and 16 bean blends too.
A typical 15 bean soup blend includes a mixture of northern beans, pinto beans, large lima beans, blackeye peas, garbanzo beans, baby lima beans, green split peas, kidney beans, cranberry beans, small white beans, pink beans, small red beans, yellow split peas, lentils, navy beans, white kidney beans, black beans, and yellow eye beans.
Recipe Steps
Step One
Rinse and drain your beans and place them in your Instant Pot with the water and oil. The oil will help reduce any foaming that can occur when the beans cook.
Cook the beans for 35 minutes on high pressure.
Step Two
Remove the lid and stir in your veggies, crushed tomatoes, and chili powder. Cook the soup for another 3 minutes at high pressure.
As always, please do see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.
Step Three
Let the pressure come down naturally for about 10 minutes, then remove the lid.
Step Four
Stir in the salt, pepper, and lemon juice, and serve your soup hot.
Step Five
If you aren’t vegan and want to add extra flavor and protein, you can always feel free to stir in some cooked ham or sausage.
FAQs
This is a no-soak recipe for cooking the beans. So, you do not need to soak them.
You can, but I prefer to use my own blend of seasonings.
