Few things are as comforting as a steaming bowl of homemade soup, and the Instant Pot makes it possible to achieve deep, slow-simmered flavor in a fraction of the time. This instant pot ham and bean soup is exactly the kind of set-it-and-walk-away recipe that busy weeknights demand — rich, hearty, and full of the layered flavors that usually take hours to develop.

The natural pressure release is worth the wait — it allows the flavors to meld and the proteins to finish cooking gently without drying out.

This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to deepen overnight. It freezes beautifully in individual portions, making it an excellent meal-prep option. Serve it with crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

Instructions

Rinse beans and drain. Sort any unwanted debris and set seasoning packet aside.
Turn Instant Pot on to saute. Add olive oil and onion and saute until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes and lemon juice (including the seasoning packet from the beans) and stir.
Place the lid on and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Quick release pressure.
Open the lid and remove ham bone or ham hock. Add tomatoes with juice, turn onto saute, and allow to simmer for 5 minutes while picking the ham off of the bone. Stir often.
Return the meat to the Instant Pot. Set pot to warm until ready to serve.
