I’m not sure, sorry!

I get nervous using the quick release function when making high-liquid content recipes, like soup. Even with beans, I’ve had some bubbling up through the vent despite being well below the max line. If I used natural release, how much should I reduce the cooking time to compensate?

Thanks!

I’m very sorry to hear that! This recipe requires wild rice, which actually isn’t rice at all. Substituting basmati is what caused it to get so thick. Wild rice doesn’t gum up in the same way.

All the bets,

I have re-read the instructions and didn’t deter at all. I don’t know why. This turned out wildly different than the photos.
I have never had success cooking with dry beans. Never. I had to pressure cook (on high pressure) another 5 mins to soften them but, very quickly, my instant pot gave an alert that the food was burning–the rice sticking to the bottom. I used wholefoods 365 northern white beans. Everything else was sourced from Trader Joe’s. The rice was a long-grain Basmati from India. Maybe that was it. That was the only long grain they had. WFs only had blended rice that day. Because I’m Keto, I try to avoid rice and usually only eat the blended.
Before I threw it away, I ate it over quinoa. That and the rice together drove my carb load beyond what my keto diet allows. Anyhow, not to be a complainer. Just wish I knew how I went wrong. I think you both are lovely. I love your site and every other recipe has been fantastic!! I love the recipes. We have so much variety in our meals esp the Vegetarian / Vegan recipes… thanks so much to you both!!

I made this tonight as my very first Instant Pot recipe. It is delicious! Only change, I substituted Cranberry beans for Great Northern as I had them on hand (from Rancho Gordo in Napa – the best and freshest beans!). There is a fair amount of prep but the IP makes you get organized and have all your ingredients out and ready to go. I followed the recipe exactly – even the 2 T oregano, and was very pleased with the result with one exception…..this soup does not have visual appeal as it is brownish. If that’s important to you, think about adding some jarred red pepper slices at the end to improve the visual – it helps.

So glad you enjoyed!

Delicious!!!! I followed the recipe almost exactly, with the exception of the cashews. I didn’t have cashews and we are not vegan, so I added milk at the end for the creaminess. My husband, who is a hard core meat eater, even loved it and was satisfied with just the soup for dinner! Thanks!

So glad you enjoyed!

I have to use rew sunflower seeds because of an allergy. They work well and there is basically no difference.
