- 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
- 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.
