These beans are great for a barbecue, with very little sugar and of course no unidentifiable chemicals. As with all beans they are high in fiber and protein, I think (-;

Equipment and Tools
Instant pot - I use the Instant Pot brand. My Instant pot is and older version of this pot here, which is very affordable. I use my instant pot an average of six times a month.
Tips
Bean selection - Pinto beans are all that I have made these beans from but garbanzo beans would be interesting I think! Make sure to purchase dry beans and not canned.
Onion - Yellow or white have an abundance of flavor. Use a food processor if you are making it dirty anyway for other cooking otherwise chopping with knife is faster. If using food processor be careful not to chop it too fine.
Soup flavoring - For vegetarians I recommend this consomme soup and seasoning mix, which does not contain meat or dairy!
Budget friendly tip - Although you can use chicken stock or vegetable stock for the liquid in this soup I recommend using this soup and seasoning mix. One container is equivalent to 67 cups of soup stock! Not only is it less expensive it is also better for the environment. Note that if you do use stock for some of the liquid in the soup lower the salt amount.
Time Saving Tips
Make way early so you don't have to rush and deal with manual pressure release when the pot is still pressurized
Meal Planning Tips
The beans freeze well. To make it more interesting and more nutritious try adding spinach or a power greens mix when reheating.

After beans cool move to storage container and put in refrigerator. Depending on your refrigerator temperature the beans are good for about 5 days. Although I have not tried freezing them my guess is this dish freezes well too.
