Instant Pot Black Bean Soup Recipe

The Instant Pot makes cooking beans simple and quick. Typically, if making black bean soup on the stovetop, you’d need to soak your beans for a few hours beforehand. Most store-bought dried beans have been on the shelves for some time and soaking them is often recommended—it leads to faster and more even cooking. Using a pressure cooker allows you to skip this process and get dinner on the table in a manner that's much faster and with less fuss. It skips the soaking process altogether; think of it as though the beans are soaking and cooking simultaneously, and the soup develops even more flavor as a result.
