One Pot Succotash Recipe For the Win!
This pressure cooker succotash is the perfect one-pot side dish for lunch or dinner! I love a good One Pot Meal, especially during these winter months when the weather starts to turn cooler. Cooking everything in one pot is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast!
All the food gets cooked in the Instant Pot, which makes cleaning up a breeze. And the pressure cooker does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. One Pot meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other healthy one pot meals that are ready in no time!
What’s In This Instant Pot Succotash Recipe?
- Dried Lima Beans: I used dried lima beans because that’s what I had on hand. I love having a variety of dried beans, to keep my pantry well-stocked with plant proteins. I used healthy gigantic dried lima beans, which didn’t require any soaking, but you can use canned or frozen instead. Just halve the cooking time.
- Olive Oil: I like using Zoe Olive Oil which has a really nice flavor for cooking or dipping. It’s really inexpensive online, so I stock up on this stuff… it’s a great value for the quality of olive oil you get.
- Onion
- Garlic: I like to use fresh garlic if I have it, but I use this jarred organic garlic if I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-minced garlic ready in the fridge!
- Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I like Better than Bouillon’s Vegetable Base which has reduced sodium… always good to be mindful of not adding to much salt to a recipe! You can always add salt, but taking it out is difficult. I always stick with low sodium broths.
- Water
- 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 🙂
- Adobo Seasoning: a really fantastic blend of salt, pepper, garlic, and spice! I like to get one that doesn’t have a lot of salt it in, so I can control the amount of salt going into the dish.
- Corn: I used no salt added canned corn because that’s what I had, but use fresh if you have it, or frozen or canned if corn isn’t in season at the moment.
- Salt to taste: be careful not to add too much – if you adobo spice has salt in it, then you may want to taste before adding any more to this recipe.

Instant Pot Succotash Everyone Will Love!
For all my recipes I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, its 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 actually makes my life so much easier.
How Do I Make Pressure Cooker Succotash?
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté Mode. Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
- Add the Vegetable stock, water, bay leaves, pepper, adobo seasoning, and lima beans.
- Cook on Pressure mode for 25 minutes. Allow to naturally release. After 15 minutes, quick release what is left of the steam, taking care to avoid the steam valve with your hands or face.
- Open the instant pot, and stir in the canned corn, salt and red pepper flakes. Before serving add the fresh chopped parsley to the top and stir.

Your directions don’t say anything about adding the lima beans to the pot. I assume they’re added in step 2, but you might want to edit your directions to include the lima beans.
Hello Sue – yes, add them in Step 2 with the broth and spices. I hope you enjoy this succotash!
