Quick Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Dry Great Northern Bean Soup with Stewed Tomatoes and Diced Ham

Even though it was a work day, I still had time to whip up a quick batch of Dried Great Northern Bean Soup with Stewed Tomatoes and Diced Ham using my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Total cooking time was about 45 minutes (that includes time to pressure up and natural release pressure down), not bad for no-soak dried beans! One of the things I like best about this recipe is, it's a great use for leftover ham meat. It simply gets heated up in the soup at the end of the cooking time. There are only 7 ingredients and the flavor gets a nice boost from using stewed tomatoes:@)

  1. Add everything except ham to pressure cooker.

  3. Allow pressure to come down naturally. Check beans for tenderness. If necessary cook at additional 1-2 minute increments using automatic release until tender.
