This is an overview of the ingredients needed to make this instant pot navy soup. For the full list and detailed instructions, be sure to check the recipe card down below!

Navy Beans.

Onion - I prefer to use sweet onions for this soup

Garlic - Minced garlic is preferred, but garlic powder also works well.

Carrots - Carrots should be cleaned, peeled, and diced.

Olive oil.

Salt - Salt and black pepper, to taste.

Celery - Chopped celery should be added.

Chicken Broth.

Chili powder.

Cumin.

Navy Bean Soup Spice Mix

This is the spice mix I often use in my soups, and it is also a perfect one in the Navy bean soup.

• The subtle spiciness of cumin doesn't overpower it. It provides that tiny bit of something.
• There is a very mild kick from the cayenne pepper. While it's not overly hot, you can omit it if you're serving it to children or anyone with sensitive stomachs. If you want a stronger spicy flavor, you can also add extra.
• If you're considering adding salt, do it just toward the conclusion of the cooking process and taste it thoroughly first.
• smoked paprika.
• the garlic powder is a must in any soup in my opinion.
• Fresh ground black pepper.

How to make Instant pot navy bean soup

Make sure you have all the ingredients on your list before you begin. Making the recipe goes more smoothly when everything is prepared and ready.

1. First, turn on the Instant Pot's saute function and add the olive oil.
2. Second step: Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.
3. Step 3: Add the chopped celery and carrots and continue to sauté for an additional two minutes.
4. Then add the chicken broth and mix.
5. Add the navy beans.
6. Add salt and pepper after checking to see if extra water is required.
7. Cover the Instant Pot and cook for 45 minutes at high pressure.
8. Following the time period, wait for a naturally occurring release of pressure (or for at least 20 minutes).
9. Open the lid, serve, and enjoy in step nine.

Store and Freeze

• Pour the totally cooled soup into freezer-safe plastic storage bags using a ladle. Seal after removing as much air as necessary. You may either split it up into multiple quart-sized bags for individual servings or put it all in one gallon-sized bag.
• Frozen solid, the bags should be laid flat in your freezer. In the extremely unlikely event that a bag might rupture or leak during freezing, I suggest placing them on a baking sheet with a rim for this duty.
• They can be stacked and stored in your freezer once they have frozen firm. Make sure to date-stamp the bags. For the best quality, I advise using the soup within 4 months of purchase.

Reheating

Reheat in a pot on the stove or in the microwave. Just a little water can be added to the soup to achieve the proper consistency as it thickens while it sits.
