Instant Pot 15 bean and ham soup is a hearty meal. Perfect for meal prep or family dinner.

This is the time of year when I love making soups. The Instant Pot makes soup making so easy too! I love the convenience of pressure cooking, especially when it cooks food quickly and without much prep.  This recipe uses a bag of 15 different dry beans and it still cooks in under an hour.

Not only is this soup perfect for cooler months, it’s comforting and filling too. The beans make a hearty soup and the ham gives the beans extra flavor.

How to make Instant Pot 15 Bean and Ham Soup

Before anything gets added to the Instant Pot, start by adding your dry beans to a colander and rinsing them thoroughly. Once they’re rinsed, lay the beans out on a baking sheet and sort through them, picking out any bad ones. Sometimes rocks and other debris can make their way in the bag, so be sure to eliminate those first.

Once the beans are rinsed and sorted, and the vegetables are prepped, the soup is ready to be made. Turn the sauté button on and add the olive oil, onions, carrots, salt and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until they become tender. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.

Next, add the chicken stock, water, beans and diced ham and give everything a good stir. Lock the lid on the Instant Pot, making sure the valve is turned to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 50 minutes. Once the 50 minutes are up, let the soup release naturally.

Give the soup another good stir, and it’s ready to eat!

What are good toppings for bean and ham soup?

Sour cream, cilantro, cheddar cheese, or crispy bacon make great toppings.

How do I store homemade bean and ham soup?

Place cooled soup in an air tight container. Properly stored, it will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Can I freeze homemade bean and ham soup?

Yes! Once soup has cooled completely, transfer to size gallon freezer bags or air tight freezable container for up to 3 months.
