In reply to Jan Menley. Hi Jan - I don't have one for a 2 quart pressure cooker. Since this recipe was created using a 6 quart pressure cooker, you could use one third of the ingredients. The cook time should be the same. Enjoy!

In reply to Barbara Schieving. Smoked a Turkey was a major hit! I have a few family members who don’t eat pork.

Thanks so much Andrea – It’s so fun to hear my site has saved the day many times and that you recommend it to everyone who gets an IP.

Not a dumb question at all. Since there is so much liquid, it will take a long time to come to pressure, so you only need 3 minutes at pressure. Of course, if your beans aren’t as tender as you’d like after 3 minutes, you can cook them a little longer. Enjoy!

I apologize for a dumb probalby repetitive inquiry. I think I’m experiencing that Thursday night burn out. I had the forethought to soak the beans but everything else confuses me. lol
I’m still unclear on how long to cook beans that were already soaked overnight… The notes say to skip to step 6. So I’m only cooking them for 3 minutes plus natural release Really? I guess I don’t do the IP with this soup often enough. lol

I think I may have to splurge on the 8qt for large soups. lol

Thank you for your fantastic website! It’s saved the day so many times and I recommend to everyone who gets an IP.

Hi Sam – the nutritional information is automatically figured by a program and is incorrect. Here’s a link to the nutritional information on the Hurst website https://hurstbeans.com/products/ham-beens-original-15-bean-soup I’ll update the information manually. Enjoy!

Oh my God, does one serving really have 2187mg of sodium??? Given that I’ll probably have bread and salad (dressing) with this, which also have sodium, it’ll exceed the daily allowance in one meal. And seeing as how delicious this looks, I’m guessing that I’ll have at least two servings. Aside from low sodium stock, do you have any suggestions to replace the seasoning pack yet still keep the soup flavorful? I’m not adverse to MSG so I’ll start with that (a study showed that people who used MSG can use about ⅓ less salt and still have comparable flavor!).

This looks so hearty that I might take some of the cooked beans and veggies out of the soup to eat with rice.

Thanks for the delicious recipe! Instead of ham bone and ham I smoked a couple of country style pork ribs for a couple of hours and threw those in at the step where the water and beans are added. Turned out great! Also, I didn’t have diced tomatoes so I used some homemade tomato sauce instead. Very pleased with the result!
