Vegetarian15 Bean Soup in the Instant Pot

I make soups especially for my boys and with my struggle to get more protein in their diet, I have been looking for protein rich soup ideas. That is when I came across this 15 Bean Soup Mix from the Hurst Beans. This mixture had several beans that I would never have thought of buying individually and hence thought would give the soup a try.

Coming to making the soup, I have to share this news to you all. I bought my Instant Pot last year during Thanksgiving sale. I was in India then and my husband had ordered one for me. It was used, maybe a couple of times and the I lost interest and went back to my usual pressure cooker for all the cooking. couple of weeks ago when talking about this to my friend Sangeetha, she was in shock that I was not using the instant pot.

She motivated me to start using the Instant pot and constantly checked on me if I was using it. It has been exactly 13 days since I took my Instant pot out and I have not once put it back inside. In fact, first time in 17 years my pressure cooker ha not come out for 13 days, except a tiny err from my husband. I had asked him yesterday to keep some rice and since he did not know how to use the instant pot, took the pressure cooker out and kept rice. Now I can't get too upset, can I? He at least made the rice.

Since using the Instant pot, I have made, rice, dal, vegetable rice, boiled potatoes and now this soup. The best part about this soup is there is no soaking of the beans. This is just the perfect kind of recipe for someone like me who often (more than often) forgets to soak beans. The whole process took about an hour and the soup was just perfect. I also used some vegetables and also pasta as per my boys request. I kept the seasonings pretty simple as I wanted the flavor of the beans to come across.

    The pasta doesn’t become soggy if you cook them with the beans?

      Cynthia, It does become a little soft, but not too soggy. I also felt that we really didn't need the pasta as the beans by themselves were quite hearty.

    That soup, paired with a hearty bread would make a wholesome meal in itself. I've been debating whether the Instapot will be a useful addition to the kitchen or not, and your post makes me think that I should try it out.

    I don't use my Instant pot as much as I should. You are inspiring me to use it more often now -- that soup looks so hearty and delicious.
