Place 1 package (16 ounces) dry white beans, 1 pound cubed ham, 8 cups chicken broth, 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, ½ cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon black pepper into the Instant Pot.
Stir to combine all the ingredients, then secure the lid and set the valve to the Sealing position.
Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and cook on High Pressure for 40 minutes.
When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 20 minutes before carefully releasing any remaining pressure.
Stir the soup well before serving and enjoy.
Note: I do not wash and rinse my beans, but you certainly can do this.
Notes
This hearty ham and beans is quick, easy and oh so filling! You are going to love how simple this. It comes together so quickly in the instant pot.
