January 5, 2018 at 11:21 pmExcited to make this !! Looks great. I do have a couple of questions 🙂
Do you think I should reduce the pressure cook time if I used canned beans instead of dried? And 15 min at low or high pressure??

January 9, 2018 at 3:22 pmYou’ll definitely need to reduce the cook time if using canned beans, since they are already fully cooked. My only concern is that, if you reduce it too much, the vegetables may be a little crunchy – particularly the celery. So what I would try is this… Sauté the celery first for a few minutes before adding the rest of the veggies. Then later – set the time for 5 minutes on high pressure. Not sure it’ll work, but that’s what I’d try. Let me know how it goes!

My 8 year old said “Momma I need to try this now, it just smells SO, SO GOOD!” and she was right. This page is saved in my favorites as a go to simple soup that is a crowd pleaser. Tomorrow we try your summer squash lemon risotto. Thank you for sharing your recipes!!!
