Notes
No sun dried tomatoes: Use roasted red peppers instead.
No Italian seasoning: use any combination of fresh or dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or basil
If using dried beans, pre-cook them in the pressure cooker using 1 part beans and 3.5 parts water. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes and then natural release. No soaking required.
Hi the directions aren’t saying when to add the beans (or I am kidding it😂)
Oopsy! Updated now 🙂 Throw them in whenever girl! I like to put them in before I blend the soup, but if you like the beans whole you could wait until after!
