Good Ol' Southern Soup Beans for Pressure Cooker

Really Good Recipe, I made these about 5 times now using lima or great northern beans. I buy a ham slice, cut it into small cubes and throw it in the pot when I start the beans. I Usually cook 10 minutes longer than the recipe states we like ours soft. Other than that I follow the recipe. Thanks for the Great recipe. Just like mom used to make.

YUM! Now I know the secret of making good beans. Mine came out a little mushy (but who cares?), so I might cook them just a tad less next time. They are really to die for. My husband was in heaven when he came back for seconds of these beans, cornbread and collard greens during his football game -- and he swears he doesn't like collard greens! Combined with these beans and cornbread, I believe he's been! Thanks so much for sharing. I might have to make another pot today.

5 stars for simplicity and taste. I am new to pressure cooking and was looking for a few good recipes. I had this in mind to make, until realizing I had not pulled out my navy beans to soak the night before. I already had all the other ingredients in the cooker, so figured I would throw in the beans, no soaking, and see what happened. Turned out great! I needed to cook mine about 5 minutes longer than directed here, but talk about a filling , no fuss recipe. Added some extra garlic and a about a tsp and half salt, cooked with a hamhock. Made with homemade cornbread and canned collards. Topped with hot sauce. DH and DS gobbled it up with no complaints. Thanks!

My mom use to make this all the time. I find a vinegary hot sauce goes great on these beans.

Oh My, These were wonderful. I have never been able to make soup beans to my husbands taste (like Mom made). He loved the smell of them. Cut the recipe down some and used 3 pieces of bacon ends that I keep frozen in individual snack backs for recipes like this. Delicious!!!

Excellent! I used crock pot method with pork butt and a little extra butter and it was a hit!

with cornbread & collards, this is a staple meal! Balanced protein, cholesterol-sopping lectins, fiber - and best of all - flavor! That's just good eating here in the Old North State!! Thanks for posting classic and oft taken-for granted "Authentic" Southern Cooking!

Ain't nothin' like a big ol' pot of soup beans on a cold day! I grew up eating these(and I live in the midwest) and, other than the garlic clove, this is just how I make mine(I do usually add more bacon grease, but....pork fat RULES!). Slop some of these babies over a piece of cornbread and/or fried taters, and you got somethin' really gooooood! Thanks for posting this simple, yummy recipe so true to this part of the country!

Sorry I hate to disagree but this was BLAND. Needed lots of salt & pepper to choke it down. I'll be adding plenty more garlic and some spices of my own choosing next time. It IS a good start but thats it, a start.

This is a great "basic" recipe. If you would like some "optional" added ingredients try the following: celery green pepper browned sausage Ro-tel tommatoes Beef/Chicken broth instead of water You may use some or all of the extras!

I just made this recipe as written, and I have to agree with another reviewer, it's pretty bland, hence the 3 stars, and I'm glad I read the reviews first. What I did was to sautee a seeded, finely chopped, medium sized jalapeno pepper along with the onion and garlic. Then I added the pre-soaked (for 4 hours) beans, ham hocks/bones,and water,along with some ham soup base and beef soup base. I then followed the rest of the instructions as written. I served it in a bowl over some homemade cornbread that I've posted on this site, and all I can say is OMG, it was soooo good. This is a great starter recipe, and is only limited by ones imagination. I pressured it for a total of 26 minutes, and the pinto beans were perfectly tender. Thanks for posting.

The cooking time was way off in this recipe -- had to add 15 more minutes, and the result was tasteless. It required lots more salt and pepper and even then -- no real flavor.
