Instant Black Bean Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and heat until shimmering. Add onion and yellow pepper; cook and stir until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, beans, and chile peppers. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 40 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 25 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Use a stick blender to blend beans until thick and creamy. Season with garlic salt. Serve with pico de gallo, red bell pepper slices, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Add oil and saute onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic until onion becomes translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Combine water and bouillon in a bowl, stir to dissolve, and add to the pot. Add beans, tomatoes, and corn and stir until well mixed. Bring to a simmer. Add salt, chili powder, cumin, bay leaf, and black pepper and stir well.
• Close and lock the lid. Set valve to sealing and select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Set a multi-cooker to the saute function. Add the lard or butter and melt. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper and jalapeno. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over the chili powder, cumin and salt. Stir and cook for about a minute. Add the beans and pour in the broth.
• Put on the lid and set the valve to sealing. Set to pressure cook on manual for 50 minutes.
• Once the pressure-cook cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the steam using quick release.
• Remove the lid and add the lime juice. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is a good mix of smooth and textured. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, add some additional broth to thin it.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with the red onion, cilantro, tomato, sour cream, avocado and lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a 6-quart or larger stovetop pressure cooker or an electric pressure cooker, heat the oil over medium-high heat or using the sauté function. Stir in the onions, chile powder, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften, about 1 minute.
• Add the water, beans, chorizo, garlic and bay leaves.
• Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. If using an electric pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
• Turn off the heat if using a stovetop cooker, and allow the pressure to come down naturally, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow the steam to escape.
• Stir well. Discard the bay leaves and add salt to taste. The soup will thicken on standing.
• Just before serving, prepare the avocado salsa by tossing the ingredients together in a bowl. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each portion with a large dollop of salsa.

Steps:

• Place beans and liquid in a medium saucepan; partially mash beans with a potato masher.
• Place over high heat; stir in salsa, chili powder, and broth.

Steps:

• If using beef, brown and drain fat.

• For soup pot: simmer over medium low heat 30 minutes to an hour.
• For crockpot: cook on low for 2-3 hours.
• Top with cheese and sour cream when serving.
