Hi Arlene – this recipe looks and sounds like a keeper. I have a question on the instructions. They do not say when to put in the 3 bay leaves, or when to take them out. Maybe at step 6 to put them in? Thank you in advance for your help.
Arlene Mobley
Hi Bryan yes you are correct. I’ve updated the recipe. Enjoy!

We really cannot get enough of soups this season, it’s been brutal. And we have leftover ham from Christmas too! I know where it’s going now 🙂 This looks so rich and delicious.

I do not have an Instant Pot, but I can sure adapt this for my regular pressure cooker, or slow cooker. With the cold weather we are having, this is just the kind of meal we need to warm up with.

Those beans look so darn colorful! I love that you don’t have soak them. I have to go see if I can find those beans at my grocery store. I guess I could get them online if not right? Looks delicious!

It is below zero right now — normally we’d be in sunny Florida — may we hear the sad violins?? Anyway, this soup looks like just the remedy for this awful weather. I love the spices and the Cajun touch to the bean soup. Unfortunately we don’t have an Instant Pot but we do have a Dutch oven and a Slow Cooker. I’m copying out the recipe right now. This is on the menu today.
