  • Once onions have browned, add all your spices, potatoes, navy beans, water, better than bouillon, nutritional yeast. Give it a good mix and cook on pressure cook for about 8 minutes or on the stove top till potatoes are cooked. Release pressure. Transfer about 80% of the soup to a high speed blender and blend till smooth. Transfer back to pot.

Notes

  • If you like your soup to be thicker consistency, add only 3 cups of water. This is a very filling and low calorie density soup.
