Instant Pot ham and bean soup is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a classic, comfort food staple without waiting for the slow cooker.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Hambeens® 15 BEAN SOUP®

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 1 cup celery (approx 2 stalks), diced

  • 3 carrots, diced

  • 1 ham bone, ham hock, or 2 cups leftover ham

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 4 cups water

  • 14 oz diced tomatoes with juice

  • Juice from 1/2 of a lemon

Cooking Directions

  1. Rinse beans and drain. Sort any unwanted debris and set seasoning packet aside.

  2. Turn Instant Pot on to saute. Add olive oil and onion and saute until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes and lemon juice (including the seasoning packet from the beans) and stir.

  4. Place the lid on and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Quick release pressure.

  5. Open the lid and remove ham bone or ham hock. Add tomatoes with juice, turn onto saute, and allow to simmer while picking the ham off of the bone.

  6. Return the meat to the Instant Pot. Stir and serve.

Tips

  • If you want to add some toppings, we love adding a dollop of sour cream, cilantro, cheddar cheese, or crispy bacon!
  • Ham If you don’t have a leftover ham bone, a ham hock from the grocery store or your local butcher will work perfectly. Look for one with a bit of meat on it, so you can add it to the soup once it’s cooked.
  • Stock or Broth Chicken stock or turkey stock adds great flavor. If you prefer more liquid in your soup, add a couple of extra cups of broth to the Instant Pot.
  • Cooking Beans When cooking with beans, always add acidic ingredients such as tomatoes or lemon juice after the beans are cooked through. The acid binds to the beans shell and makes it harder for water to permeate them to cook them.
