Instant Pot Ham and White Bean Soup Recipe

Instant Pot Ham and White Bean Soup is a delicious way to warm up during the cold winter months.

Or you may be like me and eat delicious Instant Pot recipes like this ham and bean soup all year long.

I don't need the cold weather to enjoy a big bowl of this Instant Pot Ham and White Bean Soup recipe.

If I did I'd never get to enjoy a big bowl of delicious soup.

It has been hot here in Florida. We are having one of the hottest winters in a long time.

I know soups are usually cold weather meals but I eat soup all year long. 

Instant Pot Soup Recipes

Now that I have an Instant Pot I can literally eat soup any time I want and usually from start to finish I am eating a bowl of Instant Pot Soup in 30 minutes or less.

How Long To Cook No Soak Instant Pot Dried Beans

Along with all the other delicious things you can cook in the Instant Pot you can also pressure cook no soak dried beans.

How amazing is that?

You can make just about any unsoaked dried bean recipe you like in under 30 minutes in the Instant Pot.

It depends on the recipe and the type of dried bean but an Instant Pot Ham and White Bean soup recipe like this only takes 30 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot.

If you are making an Instant Pot recipe with smaller dried beans like pinto beans or dried lentils it can be done in less than 15 minutes.

Unsoaked dried green or brown lentils only take 10 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot!

Instant Pot Ham Bone Recipes

I love making ham and beans, especially after the holidays when I always have a leftover ham bone.

I'll stick the hambone in the freezer until I get around to making a ham soup recipe or ham and beans recipe.

I can usually make a couple of ham and bean recipes like this Instant Pot Ham and White Bean Soup recipe out of one ham bone.

Helpful tips to make Instant Pot Ham and White Bean Soup Recipe

• All dried beans are not equal. As much as I love to save money I have learned that the cheaper store brand beans are not as high quality as a brand name dried beans. Cooking times may vary depending on the brand of beans you buy. The cheaper store brand beans seem to take longer to cook.  I have come to rely on Camellia dried beans or any other quality brand.
• If you do not have a leftover ham bone to cook with you can buy precooked ham, a ham-hock and in a pinch, you could even use a pound of thick sliced bacon for this recipe. The bacon will add flavor but you will not have any thick chunks of ham in the cooked soup.
