Instant Pot Vegan Black Bean Soup
Print RecipeIngredients
- 2 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups dry black beans
- 1 cup water
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup peeled and diced carrots
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves, optional
Instructions
- Combine the vegetable broth, black beans, water, tomatoes, onion, celery, carrots, chili powder, cumin, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper in an electric pressure cooker. Stir.
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker, make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function, HIGH PRESSURE, and use the +/- buttons until the display reads 55 minutes.
- When the cooker beeps to let you know it's finished, let it naturally release the pressure, until the display reads LO:05. Switch the vent valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Use caution while the steam escapes- it's hot.
- Remove the lid and stir in the corn, garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired and serve.
This soup is amazing! I omitted the cumin since I’m not really a fan of it but my kids both loved this soup!
Needed a warming soup on this cold January day. Bubbling and getting all yummo in our Instant Pot now! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!!
I made the black beans for this recipe. Do you ever freeze the leftover beans??
I freeze instant pot beans all the time. Cooled, drained, portioned in 1 or 2 cup amounts in zipper bags. Saves time and money!
This soup is awesome!
Can I use canned black beans?
Hi Patricia!
You can substitute canned beans if you prefer.

I made this today and it was delicious!! My husband loved it too! Thanks so much for sharing it
Yikes! 55 minutes? Why so long?
Because the beans in the recipe are dried beans 🙂
Are the dried beans cooked before putting them in the soup?
Hello Rose, No they can just go into the instant pot dry 🙂
I made this last night. It’s very good. I loved how you can use dried beans. It was effortless to make. I look forward to trying your other recipes.
Is Costco in Canada going to carry your books?
Yah! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the vegan black bean soup! As for the boo i’m not sure if they will be carrying it Costco hasn’t given us an answer about what stores the book will be in.
Made this tonight! So satisfying and delicious. Thanks, Brittany!
If using canned black beans, what should the timing be instead? Thank you!
Hi Lisa, I have not made this recipe with canned black beans before. But yes you would have to change the cook time and the water ratio and kind of experiment.
This is four stars because it was way too spicy but otherwise excellent. I followed the recipe exactly so maybe it’s my brand of chili powder, and believe me when when I say my husband loves the heat. He always orders the spiciest level in every restaurant, me the medium. The convenience of not having to sauté first was much appreciated, and because it was black beans and the veg wasn’t going to end up showing, I just threw them in the food processor to get chopped saving even more time so it comes together very quickly. So for convenience and general taste, wonderful!
Made it for the first time. Delicious. But how many servings is it?
Hello Donna,
Thank you for reaching out. This recipe serves 6.
Is this 4 servings?
I like to soak dry beans before cooking them… do I need to reduce the time if the beans are soaked?
I love the edits to this recipe. It has changed – for the better – since Brittany first shared it. Takes less of my time now and tastes just as good.
This sounds yummy but I can’t have tomatoes. Would it still work without them, or is there something else I could substitute in?
