Instructions

Step 1

Add all ingredients to slow cooker or Instant Pot and stir.

Step 2

If cooking in a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.*

Step 3

If cooking in an Instant Pot, add all ingredients to the pressure cooker, close the lid and make sure you are NOT venting. Select the Bean/Chili setting which should be pre-programmed to cook for 30 minutes, high pressure, and on the normal mode. Allow the Instant Pot to release naturally.*

Step 4

20 minutes from completion time, remove 3/4 cup of beans, purée with handheld immersion blender, then add back to the soup. Add rinsed and canned cannellini beans, if using.

Notes

Step 5

You can add other beans! If you use dry cannellini beans, make sure to boil for ten minutes first to avoid toxins. Canned cannellini beans just need to rinsed.

Step 6

This recipe is not meant for meat, but adding cooked, crumbled bacon or cooked ham is fine if that’s what you prefer.
