Instant Pot Great Northern Bean Soup

Step 1

Turn the instant pot to "saute" and add olive oil. Cook chopped onion until translucent, then add garlic. Give it a quick stir for about 15 seconds. Press "keep warm or off".

Step 2

Add dried Great Northern Beans (soaked or un-soaked), rosemary spring and broth, then and set it to "manual" and adjust to "35 minutes" for un-soaked beans or "25 minutes" on a high setting for soaked beans. Seal the instant pot and set the vent to sealing.

Step 3

Once it's done, allow the instant pot to naturally release until pressure subsides, or wait at least 20 minutes before doing a quick release.

Step 4

Open the lid and use a hand blender or high-speed blender to puree the beans.

Step 5

Season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve with crispy bacon and parsley (optional).
