INSTANT POT BLACK BEAN SOUP

Thanks to your Instant Pot® (a slow cooker, pressure cooker and stove-top stand-in, all in one), the beans for this creamy soup don't need to be soaked overnight. And they cook, under pressure, for just 1 hour. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the beans in batches in a regular blender (but take care, they will be hot).

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 1/2 cups dry black beans, picked over and non-beans removed
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly grated black pepper
Sliced avocado, cilantro leaves, chopped scallions, lime wedges and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

Set the Instant Pot® (see Cook's Note) to normal saute. Add the oil and once shimmering, but not smoking, add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beans, bay leaves and 7 cups water. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 hour.
After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and remove the bay leaves. Then remove 1 cup of the beans with a slotted spoon and set aside. Use an immersion blender to blend the black beans with 1 tablespoon salt until thick and creamy. Stir in the reserved whole beans and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced avocado, cilantro leaves, chopped scallions, lime wedges and sour cream.

INSTANT POT® BLACK BEAN SOUP

Instant Pot® Black Bean Soup image

This is a super-easy 'dump' soup for cold evenings. Adjust seasonings based on your preferred flavor profile. We love garlic and cumin, but our children prefer mild heat. This recipe is for a 3-quart instant pot. Adjust if you have a larger pressure cooker. Really good served as-is, but exceptional with rice.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use dried black beans and soak them overnight before cooking.
If you're short on time, you can use canned black beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse them well before adding them to the pot.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as corn, carrots, or bell peppers.
For a spicier soup, add a jalapeño or two to the pot.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
