Tips For Making This Recipe
The Total Cooking Cycle Will Be Longer
If it’s your first time using the Instant Pot, it may seem like nothing is happening after setting the timer. This is because the Instant Pot will take about 20 minutes to come to pressure before the actual cooking countdown begins.
Stovetop Tips
Add all the ingredients (except for the vegan cream cheese) to a large pot, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Finally, stir in the cream cheese.
Storage Tips
Allow your Instant Pot white bean soup to cool, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the vegan white bean soup for one month. Just thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating it on the stove.
Instant Pot White Bean Soup Recipe FAQs
Can I make this recipe with dry beans instead of canned?
Sure! But if you plan on using dried white beans, you need to soak them overnight, and the cooking time will be longer.
What are the best white beans for soup?
It doesn’t matter what white beans you use for this white bean Instant Pot recipe. Cannellini beans are great for those who love creamy soups, but the slightly sweet navy beans and the hearty Great Northern beans will also be delicious.
What to serve with vegan white bean soup?
Serve your pressure cooker white bean soup with crusty bread or tortilla chips. You can also top it with vegan parmesan cheese or pesto. For a filling meal, pair it with a grilled cheese sandwich!
What vegetables go well with creamy white bean soup?
How can I thicken my white bean soup?
For a thicker and creamier vegan Instant Pot soup, take a fourth of the soup (after letting it cool down slightly), allow the steam to escape the blender, cover it with a towel to protect against splatters, blend until smooth, and return it to the soup. You can also use an immersion blender.
