Instructions

1 Rinse your beans under cold water. Then soak the beans in water for at least 8
hours or overnight. If you are using an instant pot, skip this step.
2 When the beans are rehydrated and soft, drain them and transfer to a
medium-sized pot. If you are using an instant pot, put the beans into your
instant pot.
3 Add 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for
an hour. For the instant pot, pressure cook at high pressure for 30 minutes + 20
minutes natural release.
4 After, the beans should be soft enough to squish between your fingers. Use an
immersion blender to blend until they are broken up. You can blend more if you
prefer a smoother red bean soup.
5 Transfer the blended mixture back into the pot. Add in the sugar and orange
zest. Stir over medium-high heat and dissolve the sugar. For the instant pot,
bring the red bean soup to a boil using the "Saute High" function. Let it boil
for 15 - 20 minutes until desired thickness. Add in your sugar and orange zest
and stir occasionally. For a more soupy consistency, add in more water.
6 This step is optional if you want tapioca in it. Add in the tapioca pearls and
cook until the pearls become translucent, about 20 minutes.
7 Scoop into serving bowls and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
