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 pound of navy beans is around $1 (maybe a little more nowadays!) and can make 8 servings of soup, so when I am meal prepping for the week, this is one of my go-to recipes.
This is a hearty fall vegan navy bean soup that is great for a hearty lunch or a light dinner. It’s filling, delicious, and meat free! Make this navy bean soup without ham for a vegetarian lunch or dinner you’ll love.

Make Navy Bean Soup Vegetarian/Vegan Without Ham
This meatless navy bean soup recipe is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis (including dried beans!), and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless meals for your table.

- Carrots, Celery, Onion, Garlic
- Dried Navy Beans – I like buying beans in bulk and storing them in jars in my cupboard. Dried beans are less expensive than canned which make them super budget friendly!
- Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt. 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 Leaves: I always add bay leaves to every bean soup I make… it gives the soup a je ne sais quoi which is savory and delicious! When I lived in California I had laurel bay trees in my backyard, and I used to pick the dried leaves… now I buy these online 🙂
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
How Do I Make Vegan Split Pea 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 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’ (depending on your model) for 40 minutes. When finished cooking allow the Instant Pot to naturally 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!
Make This Vegetarian Navy Bean Soup In Your Instant Pot
For all my recipes I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, which is larger than the standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Ultra model also has some great extra settings like cake baking and yogurt making which are really neat.
I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and makes my life so much easier.
