White Bean Soup in the Instant Pot

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Yep, this bean soup is as good as it looks, maybe even better.  It’s my new favorite in the Instant Pot, creamy, crunchy and crazy good.

Typically I don’t pre-soak dried beans when I cook them under pressure, but I do in this recipe because the pre-soak gives them enough of a head start that you can cook them together with the other vegetables without turning them into mush.  I think it’s the perfect combo for a comforting dinner with a glass of white wine and perhaps a chunk of crusty bread.

  3. Cook on soup setting for 35 or 40 minutes, let pressure go down naturally

Did you make this recipe?

Share a photo and tag us — we can't wait to see what you've made!

You can substitute 1/2 and 1/2 for the cream, but the soup will be far better with the heavy cream

You can substitute vegetable broth and bouillon for the chicken if you want to make it vegetarian, but again I think the chicken really adds something to the soup.

You can substitute a chicken bouillon cube for the “Better than Bouillon” but I think “Better than Bouillon” is better than bouillon.  HAH!

 

Serve with croutons!  or bread!  or both! and, of course, a glass of wine.

    This soup looks great! I cook a lot of bean soups in the winter. We’re still having some pretty cool days that would call for this soup!

      I think that would work fine, Crystal. Just add a can or two (drained and rinsed) at the end with the cream and kale. Let me know if you try it and like it??

      Thanks,

      RMW
