Step 1

Rinse great northern beans and remove any debris or shriveled beans.

Step 2

Add the oil to your Instant Pot. Press the "saute" function and adjust to "normal". Saute the onion, celery, and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute.

Step 3

Add the beans, seasonings, soy milk, and vegetable broth. Give the soup a stir to combine. Add extra teaspoon of oil (this prevents the beans from foaming and clogging the steam release valve).

Step 4

Lock the lid into place and set the pressure valve to "sealing". Press the "pressure cook" button; adjust to "high pressure". Set the cook time for 35 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes to come to pressure.

Step 5

Allow pressure to release naturally. This will take about 20 minutes; the pressure is fully released when the silver float valve floats down.

Step 6

Remove the lid carefully and give the soup a stir. Taste for salt and pepper. Enjoy!
