Wash 400 g of any part of the chicken and remove any remaining feathers. I will now use drumsticks, but no matter what part of the chicken is perfect - thigh, leg or fillet.
Wash 1 onion, peel and cut into small cubes.
Peel 1 carrot and rinse in running water. We cut it with a knife into thin half rings or grate it, as you prefer.
Pour 2 tbsp into the multicooker bowl. l. sunflower or any vegetable that you have at home.
Select the “frying” program in the multicooker. And when the oil in the bowl heats up, immediately add the onions and carrots to fry.
When 3-4 minutes have passed, add the cooked chicken.
Fry it on each side for 1.5-2 minutes. Once we have fried the chicken, turn off the specified program. And add 4-5 finely chopped potatoes with a total weight of 450 g to the multicooker bowl.
Be sure to wash the swollen beans in running water and add to the rest of the ingredients.
Also, don’t forget to add a few peas (3-4 pieces) of dark pepper and 1 tbsp. l. salt without a slide. Fill in all 2 liters of hot water.
Close the lid and set the “soup making” program on the timer for 1.5 hours.
7-10 minutes before the soup is ready, add 1 bay leaf, 1.5-2 tbsp. l. tomato paste. You can also add 2 crushed cloves of garlic to enhance the taste and add spiciness.
Mix everything well until the tomato paste is completely dissolved.

But you should keep in mind that raw beans contain substances harmful to the body that are released when they are soaked and cooked.
Therefore, before preparing bean soup, this product must be soaked, ideally overnight.

Bean soup from snow white beans in a slow cooker

Have you tried cooking bean soup in a slow cooker? This post is about how to quickly cook bean soup from snow-white beans (not canned), spending less than 10 minutes of free time. The trick is that all the ingredients are added immediately.

Bean soup in a slow cooker according to this recipe can be prepared not only from snow-white beans, but also from reddish ones; its options can be varied, cooked with meatballs, smoked meats, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork or mushrooms. My photo recipe for bean soup with vegetables and small snow-white beans (I chose Mistral, don’t take it as an advertisement), it came out vegetarian or lean, but very tasty! If you beat the soup with beans in a blender, you get bean soup - puree, perfect for children's children's menu.

In the bean soup recipe I used:

Small snow-white beans – 1.5 multi-cups,
Potatoes – 5-6 medium tubers,
Onions – 1 pc.,
Carrots – 1 pc.,
Vegetable oil (your favorite) - 2 tablespoons,
Water,
Salt and spices - to taste,
Bay leaf - optional.

How to quickly cook bean soup from snow-white beans in a slow cooker

Snow-white beans (you can use reddish ones, then the production time will increase slightly) can be soaked overnight (that is, in the dark) , but I did not do this, wash them.

Peel and rinse potatoes, onions and carrots. Chop the vegetables as you like.

Place all the ingredients for the bean soup (list above) into a multicooker saucepan and pour boiling water to the highest mark (I have a Panasonic 4.5 liter, for a small multicooker reduce the amount by 2 times).

Cook vegetable soup with beans on the “stew” mode (for other models on the “Soup” program) 1 hour before the signal.

If you prepare bean soup with meat or reddish beans, the cooking time will need to be increased (1.5 - 2 hours, respectively).

Bean soup made from snow white beans is ready,

This recipe can also be prepared on the stove, just keep in mind that a slow cooker will free you from skimming and monitoring the soup. In addition, the smart saucepan will turn off itself and will be waiting for you for lunch, even if you set the soup to cook in the morning and ran off to the shops or for a walk with the baby.
