I love having soup for dinner. It’s easy to make even after a tiring day. My Vegan Instant Pot Split Pea Soup is an inexpensive meal that you can make with simple ingredients you have in your pantry. It’s made heartier with some nave beans and sweet potatoes.

Soup Is the Perfect Cool-Weather Meal

When I think about autumn, I see myself in a cozy sweater eating a big bowl of soup with a hunk of homemade bread.

Split peas are already in your pantry, plus chances are you have some navy beans and sweet potatoes too.

You can use each ingredient in its own soup, but make sure to throw in this Vegan Instant Pot Split Pea Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Navy Beans every once in awhile too.

Vegan Instant Pot Split Pea Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Navy Beans

Can I Use Great Northern Beans Instead of Navy Beans?

You can use other white beans in place of the navy beans called for in the recipe. You will need to increase the cooking time by at least 5 minutes.

In most recipes with beans if they aren’t cooked you just put the lid on and cook again. Since this soup gets extra thick once the split peas cook, you won’t be able to bring the soup back up to pressure a second time.

w/ Sweet Potatoes & Navy Beans

But don’t fret, you can still cook it a second time if you need to. If you are trying a new bean and it’s not soft enough after the pressure cook, just turn to saute, add more water if needed, and cook with a pot lid on it until the beans are soft.

I love this soup! It uses ingredients that are probably sitting in your pantry, and you just throw everything together and cook. It’s perfect for weeknights or make a large batch and freeze some for later.

    Made this tonight and it was amazing. Since I had butternut squash that needed to be used up I substituted it for the sweet potatoes. Next time I will double the recipe!

    Made this recipe and substituted Smoked Paprika for Liquid smoked. Put in 1/2 tsp before cooking and another 1/2 – 1/2 tsp at the end. Soup was delicious – except, my navy beans were under-cooked (very). I will try extending cook time next time.

      The navy beans are the variable, if they are older they will take longer.

    Looks great. Unfortunately, I can’t each whole beans, but I’m thinking I could puree them ahead of time and add them to the Instant Pot instead of dried navy beans. Any help with this? Thanks.

      I would leave out the navy beans and add extra sweet potato or even regular potato instead.

    Followed instructions and beans were also very undercooked. Used new dried organic navy beans. Frustrating.

      The beans are always the variable. Even if you just bought them, there is no way of knowing how long they were stored before the got to the store.

      If that happens in this soup it’s best to turn to saute, add some extra water, and cover. Cook until the beans are completely done.

    Is the cook time the same if I double the ingredients? Also I plan to add a can of white beans at the end, so perhaps a little less water? Thanks…. It looks great!

      It should be the same time. Also a little less water if you’re using canned beans in place of dried.

    Will a doubled recipe fit in a 6 quart Instant Pot?

    Will this be thick like the picture? I made the cabbage and corn soup last week and it was like broth with hardly any substance. I followed the recipe exactly.
