Method
 

Instant Pot Version
  1. Soak beans overnight in a large bowl. Fill bowl with water to cover the beans, plus 2-3 inches more.
  2. After the beans have finished soaking, prepare the produce and place all ingredients (except for the salt and yogurt) in the IP
  3. Mix everything well to distribute an even amount of beans and veggies on the bottom of the pot
  4. Seal the IP and turn it to cook on Manual Pressure Cook, High/Normal Pressure for 6 minutes
  5. When the timer goes off, initiate the Quick Release and allow the IP to depressurize prior to lifting the lid
  6. When you can open the lid, use an emulsion blender and blend about half of the soup, intermittently for about 5 seconds. If you do not have an emulsion blender, transfer approx. half of the soup to a regular blender and pulse for several seconds and return to IP
  7. Add yogurt to achieve a creamier consistency, blending more into soup if desired
  8. Salt soup to taste and garnish with desired toppings!
Slow Cooker Conversion
  1. If using a slow cooker instead of an Instant Pot, prepare the recipe as directed above, However, place all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. (You still need to soak the beans if cooking the recipe in a slow cooker, unless you substitute dried for canned beans)
