Instant Pot White Bean Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Instant Pot White Bean Soup- Vegan ,gluten free ,dump and go pressure cooked soup.A quick family dinner made in under 30 minutes.

This Instant Pot veggie soup with beans is comforting on a cold night.

Whether you are looking for a quick meal for the family or something uber nutritious along with dinner, this soup fits all categories. It's also a great way to use up all bits and bobs of the veggies left over in the refrigerator.

The best part is how little work it takes to put together. The secret is to use pesto sauce and canned tomatoes.

If you are a soup lover like my husband, do give these instant pot soups a try Chicken barley soup, Vegan chili, and Zucchini soup. Instant pot is a great appliance for soups and stews.

Love experimenting with beans? Give a try to this delicious cowboy baked beans or a three bean chili. A great appetizer using black beans is my favorite cowboy caview dip - black bean feta dip.

Ingredients for Instant Pot White Bean Soup

Most ingredients are pantry ingredients. The soup is also very customizable.

White Beans- or any other cooked beans if you like. You can also use any kind of red beans too.

Vegetables-Any kind of marrow -zucchini, peppers, carrots, green leafy veggies- kale or spinach would work too.

Flavorings - Onions, Celery, and the all-important but super easy way to add oodles of flavor- pesto.

How to make White Bean Soup in Instant Pot

Saute Step

The soup starts with creating a base- sautéing onions and celery in olive oil.

This step adds a lot of flavor. That said, if you are running low on time, you can skip it and dump the veggies in.

Add everything step

Once the saute is done, just dump everything else too.Yes.It's that simple!

But after every sauté step, it's important to deglaze- Scrape any brown caramelized bits by rubbing the bottom of the instant pot with a wooden spoon.

The faster white bean soup

The faster bean soup is just to dump everything other than spinach in, set the pressure cooker, and walk away. It's that simple, really.

You can use frozen or pre-cut veggies to avoid cutting and chopping.

Also, here is another of my most visited bean recipes- Instant Pot Quinoa Bean Chili

    This soup was SOOO GOOD!!!! I made it for myself and 2 9yr olds!! They both loved it!! Definitely will be in my soup rotation!!! I made my own beans from dried great northern beans! Definitely double carrot and celery content!! I used a small zucchini, because I wasn’t sure I would like it in a soup— next time I’ll definitely get a large one!! Excellent recipe!! Thank you!!!
