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, then just skip the step.
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- Dislodge any brown caramelized bits by scrapping 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.

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!!!
