Instant Pot® Black Bean Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1 cups dry black beans
• 1 (10 ounce) can roasted tomatoes with green chiles (such as Ro-Tel)
• cup frozen corn
• 1 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 bay leaf
• Ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Turn on your multi-functional pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot) and select the Saute function. Add the olive oil, then saut the diced onion, yellow bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic for 3 to 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the boiling water and chicken bouillon cubes. Stir until the bouillon cubes are fully dissolved, then add this mixture to the pot with the sauted vegetables.

Step 3: Stir in the dry black beans, roasted tomatoes with green chiles, and frozen corn. Mix everything together until well combined, and let the mixture come to a simmer.

Step 4: Add the kosher salt, chili powder, cumin, bay leaf, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5: Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Set the valve to sealing and choose the high-pressure setting according to your manufacturers instructions. Set the timer for 60 minutes.

Step 6: Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up. Once the timer goes off, release the pressure using the natural release method according to the manufacturers guidelines, which will take 10 to 40 minutes depending on your model.

Cook's Note

If you prefer, you can add cup of mojo marinade to the pot before pressure cooking for extra flavor.
