This Pressure Cooker / Instant Pot 15 Bean Soup is a hearty soup loaded with ham and good-for-you veggies. It’s the perfect way to use that ham bone leftover from your holiday ham.

Today’s post is sponsored by Hurst Beans. The N.K. Hurst Company is a four-generation family-owned business that began selling beans in 1947.

Beans are inexpensive, high in protein and fiber but low in calories, so they’re a great option around the holidays! The American Cancer Society recommends eating beans as part of a heart-healthy diet and says adding beans to your diet may help keep you feeling full longer.

Hurst’s HamBeens brand was the first brand to include a seasoning packet with their 15 Bean Soup mix, and it became an immediate success. Even if you don’t have a leftover ham bone, the seasoning packet ensures you’ll still get a great, flavorful soup.
