Submitted by QueenOf1211

"Use the 15 bean soup in a bag, but not the seasoning packet, this is much better."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins

ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) bag of 15 bean soup dried beans
• 10 cups water
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 large carrots, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Start a pot of 10 cups of water to boil (using hot water will make the Instant Pot come up to pressure faster).
2. Chop onions and carrot, mince garlic.
3. Turn the Instant Pot on Saute, add the olive oil and heat until warm, then add onions and carrots and cook until the onions start to turn translucent, then add garlic and cook a minute longer.
4. Add the ham bone, the beans from a package of 15 bean soup (not seasoning packet), and 10 cups of the hot water, or enough to fill the pot only to the max line.
5. Set the Instant Pot on Beans/Soup setting for 30 minutes.
6. After the timer goes off, turn the pot off for 10 minutes, then do a quick release of the pressure and take the lid off.
7. Remove the hambone and discard, or pick some of the meat off and add to the soup if you'd like.
8. Add the lemon juice, tomato soup and all of the seasonings, turn the pot on saute and cook for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
9. Serve with corn bread.

I don't have an instant pot, but I followed the directions on the bag of 15 beans using a 6 quart pot with a lid. I cooked the pre-soaked beans in water with the ham bone and onion for a couple of hours, then added the spices and cooked for another 30-60 minutes till done. I liked the spices listed in this recipe and threw the seasoning packet in the garbage (sounded like it was created in the lab, not the kitchen). I made a note to reduce the thyme to 1/2 teaspoon next time. It blends well after cooking, but I personally don't want thyme to overpower the other spices. Also, I used a can of diced tomatoes and did not use tomato soup. The ingredient list on this recipe is much better than the list on the bag of beans. Thank you! Yum! Yum! :)

Excellent soup. Used a nine bean packet I had in the pantry. Added three stalks of celery and a ham bone from our last spiral ham dinner. Perfect. One question: Is the nutrition info correct? 70 calories for 18 ounces of soup? Sounds a little low!

Que pasa? The recipe directions do not mention whether/when to add the beans? I bet the soup would be better with some of those 15 beans!
