Lots of folks are a little intimidated by an Instant Pot®, but it is certainly handy when it comes to dried beans. With 20 minutes of prep time and less than 1 hour of active cooking time, this recipe for white bean and prosciutto soup is delicious and filling. Serve it for dinner with a salad and some nice bread, or for lunch with some crackers and fruit for dessert.

Cook's Notes:

Cooking time is approximate, as different size pots and different brand pots may take longer to come to pressure.

If you are adding more liquid, you can use water instead of broth.

Editor's Note:

Please note the magazine version of this recipe uses more prosciutto.
