Instructions
Prep dry baby lima beans
- Pick the lima beans to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse them well under running tap water several times and drain them in a colander. Set them aside.
Saute veggies
- Set the instant pot on SAUTE mode set at high heat setting. Add oil. When the oil becomes moderately hot add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Saute for just 1 min. Next, add all the seasonings mentioned above in the "Seasonings" section of the ingredients list. Also, add the salt according to your personal taste preference. Saute for 30 secs. Add the diced tomatoes and saute for another 30 secs.
Deglaze pot
- Add the baby lima beans and give everything a good stir. Add the veggie stock, and deglaze the pot by scraping the sides and the bottom of the pot with the help of a spatula. This will help loosen any stuck food particles and prevent burn errors. Add the soy sauce, liquid smoke and bay leaves. Cancel the saute function.
Pressure cook baby lima beans
- Secure the lid of the instant pot, seal the valve, and pressure cook on high for 25 mins. Once the cooking cycle is over the instant pot will begin to beep. Wait for a natural pressure release for 15 mins and then release the rest of the pressure manually by moving the valve from the sealing to the venting position. Open the lid carefully.
- Discard the bay leaves. Give the cooked lima beans a good stir. You may even mash a few cooked lima beans with the back of your ladle to thicken the soup naturally.
- Serve the instant pot lima beans garnished with fresh chopped parsley or chives. Enjoy!
Notes
- Red pepper flakes: Skip if making the recipe for kids.
- Soup consistency: You can totally control the consistency of the soup. Mash a few cooked lima beans with the back of your ladle to naturally thicken the soup as per your liking. If you prefer brothy soups, add more stock.
