    Pressure Cooker White Bean Soup | The Foodie Eats

    This pressure cooker white bean soup is so easy to make you might be surprised it's as delicious as it is - complete with crispy sausage and kale!

    White bean soup in brown bowl.

    Since we had one last cold snap last week, of course I was in the kitchen making more soup. This was my first attempt at pressure cooker white bean soup. And I passed the bean approval test - my 2-year-old daughter. She loves beans, but only if they're delicious. And apparently, these are!

    The Mistake Everybody Makes...

    I love sausage in soups. But here's the problem. Almost every soup recipe I come across will use the sausage to add flavor to the soup. That's a great intention, but (in my opinion) it's actually a total fail. If you boil it for any extended period of time, all the flavor will go into the soup. And then you're left with flavorless sausage.

    Check out the recipe below to see how to retain the crispiness of the sausage without compromising the flavor of the soup.
