Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggplants, chopped, or more to taste
1 red bell pepper, chopped, or more to taste
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
4 cups water, or more if needed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
salt to taste
4 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans, drained
2 lemons, juiced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine eggplants, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add water, cumin, oregano, and salt. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more, stirring roux constantly. Add white beans to roux and mix.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Scoop cooked eggplant and vegetables out of pressure cooker using a slotted spoon or pasta server, including as little water as possible, and transfer to a blender. Add roux-bean mixture and blend until smooth. Add lemon juice, tahini, and oil.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time. Other than that, I thought the soup was very flavorful and satisfying. I would definitely make it again.

This soup was amazing! I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The flavors were so rich and complex, and the eggplant and beans were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was just okay. I thought the flavors were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. I also think it would be better with some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more broth or water. I also think it would be better with some chunks of vegetables, such as carrots or celery.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I let it cook on low for 8 hours and the eggplant and beans were fall-apart tender. The flavors were also very well-developed. I will definitely be making this again.
