directions

- white beans, rosemary sprig, thyme sprig, chicken stock and pepper. Bring pressure to 15lbs and cook for 35 minutes. Beans should be almost soft but still have a small bite to them.
- Using the quick-release, cold water method, open lid, add in butternut squash, garlic, fresh rosemary minced, garlic and salt & pepper to taste. Place lid back on and pressure cook for 10 more minutes with a natural release method. Stir in chard greens just before serving and use remaining chicken stock to thin soup if too thick.
- Test to make sure beans are completely soft. Pull out stems of rosemary and thyme. Add salt to correct seasonings. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and croutons.

Made it for a work potluck and got rave reviews from everyone. I used about a rounded 1/4 tsp pepper and vegetable stock for the vegetarians out there. I also did not use any extra stock for thinning. I have an electric pressure cooker, and everything was cooked well on 36 minutes high and then another 12 minutes on high with a quick release both times. Some people may prefer to still use the natural release for softer beans, but we found them done, but a little firm. We were in a hurry to get the eating started.

Excellent soup and a way to pressure cook the beans without all the foam. Instead of chicken stock I used organic vegetable stock. Used organic rainbow chard and substituted some of the chard stalks for the celery. Didn't have fresh herbs but dried herbs tasted fine. This soup is so good, thick and like a stew, which is fine by me; it doesn't even need sour cream or croutons, which saves calories and can be served vegan. Thanks :)
