• 1 pound 15 Bean Soup mix
• 1 onion

  chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• 3 cloves garlic

  minced
• 2 stalks celery

  chopped
• 2 carrots

  peeled and chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 1 dried bay leaf
• 6 cup water
• 1 lb fully cooked ham

  chopped
• 1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes

  partially drained
• juice of 1 lemon

  or 1/4 cup

Instructions

• 1 Soak the beans overnight or use the quick soak method (details in the notes
  section below).
• 2 Add the beans to the Instant Pot container along with the onion, garlic, celery,
  carrots, salt, red pepper flakes, thyme, and bay leaf. Pour the water over the
  top, seal the lid, and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Allow the pressure
  to release naturally for 15 minutes, then quickly release the remaining
  pressure.
• 3 Once the pressure is released, turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. Remove
  the bay leaf and thyme sprigs (woody stems). Add in the partially drained
  tomatoes, cooked ham, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning as needed (or add in the
  seasoning packet included with the bean soup mix). Simmer for about 5 minutes or
  until the ham is warmed through.
