Instant Pot Basic Bean Soup

subheading: The Two Main Ingredients:

1 pound dried Great Northern or Cannellini beans (with dud beans picked out - no need to rinse or soak!)

6 cups broth of your choice (I used 6 teaspoons Garlic Better Than Bouillon 6 cups water. You can also just water if you don’t have broth but broth adds more flavor)

subheading: The Optional Flavor Enhancers:

2 tablespoons (¼ stick) salted butter OR 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 tablespoons (3 cloves) garlic, crushed or minced

subheading: Covered In Your Cupboard:

ANY spices in your cupboard that you enjoy (NOTE: see the yellow “Jeffrey Sez” section for what I used)

The whole point of this recipe is for you to best make use out of your favorite seasonings you likely already have on-hand in your cupboard to achieve a flavor result that is beyond satisfactory and elevates basic beans and broth into a spectacular soup! There are NO right or wrong rules here – just be sure to start with smaller amounts of spice to avoid overkill. From there, you can adjust to taste.
