    I've only used my instant pot once and all my veggies turned out mush. I am confused, I have seen multiple recipes for this 15 bean soup and they all have different cook times. Your cook time is the shortest so far at 35 minutes. The highest time I've seen was 90 minutes. Are they completely cooked at your time? If so I would think they would be mushy if cooked any longer than that.
    What size is your instant pot? Do you bring your instant pot up to temperature before starting the cooking process? Do you cook your sausage and veggies before adding all the other ingredients?

      Yes the beans are usually cooked in 35 minutes. If the bigger beans are still hard I will put the lid back on and pressure cook for another 10 minutes. How fresh the bag of beans are really make a difference. The freshest beans cook the best. I have found that if I use a bag of beans that have been in the pantry for awhile I might have to pressure cook them a little longer.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
