Heirloom Bean Soup

For dinner we made a bean soup recipe we’ve made before, but with several modifications. It is based on a recipe from Jill Nussinow’s Vegan Under Pressure cookbook, page 184. Last year another Instant Pot gave up the ghost and we decided not to replace it, especially since their downturn, so this had to become a stovetop recipe.

A while back we had also stocked up on some dried heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo. For this soup we presoaked their King City Pink Beans for most of the day before cooking.

Hearty and satisfying! I think this is leftovers tomorrow, too.
