Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use canned or dried beans for soup?

Both work well. Canned beans are convenient - just drain and rinse. Dried beans offer better texture and flavor but need soaking (6-8 hours) and longer cooking. Never add salt until beans are tender.

How do I prevent gas from bean soup?

Soak dried beans and discard the soaking water. Add beans to fresh water for cooking. Include digestive spices like cumin, fennel, or epazote. Start with small portions to let your body adjust.

Can I make bean soup in an Instant Pot?

Yes! Pressure cooking is perfect for bean soup. Unsoaked beans cook in 25-30 minutes at high pressure. Add a tablespoon of oil to prevent foaming. Natural release for best texture.
