Instant Pot Ham and Bean Soup

Ham and bean soup is one of my families favorite recipes to enjoy year round.  I’ve always made ham and bean soup in the Crockpot, but now do it in my Instant Pot.  When you make it in the Instant Pot soup tastes like it cooked all day!

I love soup.  No matter what the weather, I could eat soup.  Remember my trip to Mexico where I discovered I love Pork Pozole Soup?  I had to go home and make it immediately!  Maybe you like chili?  My Mexican Crockpot Chili is a family favorite!

Ham and Bean Soup should be eaten with cornbread!  I rarely make from scratch cornbread.  This soup was enjoyed with a box of Jiffy Mix cornbread!

I love my Instant Pot.  I have an Instant Pot Duo80 8 quart pot.  It is a great time saver for busy families or nights you get home late and need to get a meal cooked quickly!

This soup is so easy.  There is very little prep involved.  And it will make your kitchen smell so good!
