Navy bean Soup is one of my absolute favorite soups to make, and it couldn’t be easier in the Instant Pot! I always keep a stash of navy beans in my cupboard, as they are cost efficient and go a long way. A one-pound bag of beans is around $1 (maybe a little more nowadays!) and the best part is that this recipe makes 8 servings of soup. When I am meal prepping for the week, this is one of my go-to affordable recipes.

This is a hearty fall navy bean recipe that is great for a hearty lunch or a light dinner. It’s filling, delicious, and meat free! One of our favorite Instant Pot soup recipes that is great all year long!

What’s In Pressure Cooker Navy Bean Soup Recipe?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

Carrots, Celery, Onion, Garlic
Dried Navy Beans – I like buying dry beans in bulk and storing them in jars in my cupboard. Dry white beans are less expensive than canned which make them super budget friendly! You could also use canned beans, or great northern beans (cannellini beans) for this recipe too.
Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed. Check out more low sodium recipes here!
Bay Leaf: I always add bay leaves to every bean soup I make… it gives the soup a savory and delicious flavor!
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper

Optional Add-Ins

This version is vegetarian and vegan, but if you eat meat and wanted to add a ham shank or smoked ham hock to this soup, feel free!
If you prefer to use chicken stock instead of vegetable stock, you can substitute that if it meets your dietary needs.
A dash of Worcestershire sauce adds acidity.
A hearty shake of red pepper flakes is a great way to add spice to this white bean soup.

How Do I Make Vegan Navy Bean Soup in the Instant Pot?

Add the olive oil, onions, and garlic to the Instant Pot. Set to ‘Sauté’ Mode and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes cooking time until vegetables begin to turn translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, bay leaves, Herbs de Provence, vegetable stock, and dried beans to the pot.
Seal Lid, and cook on ‘Pressure Cook/Manual/High Pressure’ (depending on your model) for 40 minutes. When finished cooking allow the Instant Pot to natural release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, quick release the remainder of the pressure carefully.
Discard the bay leaves. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Serve hot, with an extra drizzle of olive oil before serving. Enjoy!
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Make This Vegetarian Navy Bean Soup In Your Instant Pot

Making soups in your pressure cooker couldn’t be easier! I love making this navy bean soup by adding all ingredients to one pot, and letting the cooker do it’s work.

I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.

Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
