Once again, I'm turning to my trusty Instant Pot to make this Instant Pot Ham Hock and Bean Soup. No need to have a pot boiling on the stove for a few hours, and I didn't start it early enough to use my crock pot.

Ham And Bean Soup (15 Minute Recipe)

In the electric pressure cooker this soup only takes about an hour. That includes the warm up and natural release time. Not bad! Just keep in mind that old beans will take longer to cook.

It is almost impossible to tell how old beans are, so just cook the recipe per instructions, leaving yourself a 15 to 25 minute window of time in case you need to add more time.

Also, on a warm day, I'm not heating up my kitchen. I say that all the time, but it is a huge reason why I will choose to make something like this in the Summer!

This soup is made in a fraction of time when cooked on high pressure. I recommend using lots of veggies and herbs for this soup. It will make a huge difference and create a flavorful and aromatic meal.

You can use pretty much any beans available. However, I prefer to use cannellini beans as they work great, especially when cooked under pressure. They are white Italian kidney beans.

After, add the ham bone back to the pot with the rest of the ingredients. Discard the bone after it is done the cookingand the meat falls off it into the soup.
