Vegan Instant Pot Black Bean Soup
Serves: 4-6 • Total Time: 60 mins • FODMAP Rating: High
For this black bean soup recipe, no bean prep is required. We use dried beans directly. However, if you prefer to soak your beans beforehand, you can just adjust the cooking time to 35 minutes instead and do 3 cups veggie broth instead of 4. And if you want to use canned beans, then adjust the cooking time to 10 minutes and just 2 cups veggie broth (since the beans won't soak up any liquid at all) This recipe is the perfect DUMP and GO meal and it’s easy, full of nutrition and delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried black beans (no need to soak)
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional, for mild heat)
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, green onions, or coconut yogurt
Instructions:
- Sauté the Veggies (optional): Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode. Add a splash of water or vegetable broth. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, carrot, celery, and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, until softened. (I usually skip this step and just throw everything in the instant pot and cook it all together to save time)
- Add the Ingredients: Add the unsoaked dried black beans, diced tomatoes, diced zucchini, spices (smoked paprika, coriander, oregano, chili powder), and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Cook:
- Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to "Pressure Cook" on high for 45-50 minutes to ensure the dried beans cook through.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully do a manual release of any remaining pressure.
- Season: Once the cooking is done, open the lid and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and add any optional toppings like avocado slices or green onions for extra texture and flavor. Serve over rice or with chips!
