Instant Pot® Black Bean Soup image

This is a super-easy 'dump' soup for cold evenings. Adjust seasonings based on your preferred flavor profile. We love garlic and cumin, but our children prefer mild heat. This recipe is for a 3-quart instant pot. Adjust if you have a larger pressure cooker. Really good served as-is, but exceptional with rice.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were really well-balanced.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found that the soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I added some water to thin it out and it was perfect.

This soup is a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of chili powder I use.

I added some chopped cilantro and avocado to my soup before serving. It really took it to the next level!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover black beans. It's also a really affordable meal, which is always a plus.
