9-Bean Soup

By Bailey1_

Ingredients

• 8 C. Organic Chicken Broth (we use Costco variety)
• One Pound of 9-Bean Soup Mix (find at most grocers for $3 - $4) a bag
• 1 large Onion, diced
• 3 Carrots, diced
• 1 Red Pepper, diced
• 1 can (15 oz) Organic Diced Tomatoes
• 4 stalks Celery, diced
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 2 tsp Garlic, diced
• 1 tsp Thyme (or, 1 drop Thyme Essential Oil)
• 1 tsp Rosemary (or, 1 drop Rosemary Essential Oil)
• 1.5 Tbsp Parsley
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 tsp Ham or Chicken base, or a Ham Hock - it tastes just as great without either too.

Preparation

Step 1

Place everything in the Instant Pot.
Set the Instant Pot on "Soup" for 35 minutes.
When it's done, let the pressure go down for a few minutes then quick release.
Take out the ham hock (if you used one) and bay leaves and serve up in soup bowls.
When or if you need a more meaty 9 Bean Soup, you can add a pound of Pork Shoulder that's diced into smaller pieces.
