Delicious Instant Pot Black Bean Soup Recipe: A Hearty and Flavorful Meal
  • Prep Time

    1 hr 20 mins
  • Total Time
    1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of olive oil to sauté
  • 1 big onion, finely chopped
  • 1 sizable yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp of minced garlic
  • 2 cups of boiling water
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1.5 cups of dried black beans
  • 1 can (10 oz) of roasted tomatoes with green chiles (like Ro-Tel®)
  • 1/3 cup of frozen corn kernels
  • 1.5 tsp of kosher salt
  • 1 tsp of chili powder, adjust to preference
  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1 bay leaf for flavor
  • Ground black pepper to your liking

Step 1

Begin by igniting a versatile pressure cooker like an Instant Pot® and activating the Saute function. Infuse the pot with oil, then saute a medley of aromatic ingredients including onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic until the onion turns translucent, which typically takes around 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, blend water and bouillon until the mixture dissolves smoothly, then introduce it into the pot. Toss in beans, tomatoes, and corn, giving everything a thorough stir to ensure all components are well combined. Allow the mixture to gently simmer, enhancing the flavors by adding a sprinkle of salt, chili powder, cumin, a bay leaf, and a dash of black pepper, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 3

Seal the lid securely, adjust the valve to the sealing position, and choose the high-pressure setting as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Set the timer for 60 minutes, and patiently wait for around 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to reach optimal levels.

Step 4

Once the cooking cycle is complete, follow the natural-release method as recommended by the manufacturer, giving it ample time to release pressure naturally, which may take between 10 to 40 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by organizing your pantry with clear containers to store dried black beans, spices, and other ingredients easily accessible for your Instant Pot soup recipe.
  2. 2. Utilize mason jars or reusable storage bags to pre-portion and freeze any leftover black beans or soup for quick and convenient meals on busy days.
