Instant Pot Black Bean Soup
The recipe is for one to two people so you'll only need 1 can of beans and a minimal amount of other ingredients. This means that the pot will heat up to pressure fairly quickly. I took those few minutes to toss together a salad and cut up 1/2 of a ripe avocado. By the time the soup was ready, so were we. Season "lightly" with salt depending on how much salt is in the can of beans. I used sodium reduced so I stepped up the salt to taste.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup prepared mild pico de gallo
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper
Optional garnishes:
- Pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Pulse to a chunky consistency.
- Pour into Instant Pot, lock the lid, make sure the vent is in "sealing" position and set to pressure cook for 2 minutes on high.
- When the pot has finished the cycle, select cancel and flip the vent to "venting" to do a quick release. Stir, taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Top with additional pico de gallo, cilantro, avocado cubes or a combination of all, if desired

Avocado, cilantro, additional lime juice can either be added right to the soup or to the pico de gallo garnish on top. for a more assertive taste. Vegans can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken and white can replace red wine. If you prefer you can skip the wine and use more broth instead. Because most of the calories in wine comes from the alcohol, which evaporates during cooking, I decreased the Points by 1 per serving. If you prefer to skip the wine and use more broth instead you can deduct 1 Point from each serving.
