The slow cooker makes delicious soups quickly and easily. The most important advantage of a multicooker is that nothing will run away, spill or burn. The main thing is to set the correct manufacturing program. And the presence of the “delayed start” and “auto heating” functions makes the multicooker even more attractive in the eyes of housewives. Let's look at a recipe for making bean soup in a slow cooker.
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
- Beans 1 cup
- Olive oil 2 tablespoons,
- Carrot 1 pc.,
- Onions 1 pc.,
- Potatoes 4 pcs.,
- Salt,
- Ground black pepper,
- Savory,
- Bay leaf.
- Greenery,
- Sour cream,
- Rye bread.
Beans are rich in vitamins and microelements
Beans have been a common food product since ancient times. In Russia, bean dishes began to be created in the 17th century. About 20 types of savory beans are grown in the world. The highest protein content (24 grams of protein per 100 grams of dry beans) makes this product irreplaceable for vegetarian cuisine. Bean protein is identical in composition and value to protein of animal origin; the digestibility of bean dishes is 80%.
Beans contain a huge amount of vitamin E, which is important because it regulates the metabolism of fats and proteins in the body. Please note that raw beans contain harmful substances, therefore the beans must be subject to heat treatment, especially during production, all the beneficial substances in the beans are preserved, and the unnecessary ones are destroyed.
How to quickly cook beans?
Beans in a pressure cooker cook one hundred percent in just half an hour. Cooking in the “quenching” mode takes one hour. But it’s still worth soaking the beans before cooking. After all, soaking dissolves oligosaccharides, these are sugars that a person cannot digest on his own and they cause increased gas formation. By soaking the beans, we will improve the digestion process.
The best option is to soak the beans overnight (that is, in the dark) . If we don’t have that amount of time, then there is a more rapid soaking process. To do this, pour the beans with cool water and bring to a boil. After boiling for 10 minutes, the heat is removed and the beans are left to stand for 30 minutes. If time allows you to steep the beans all night (that is, in the dark) , then the end result will be a wonderfully tasty and necessary bean soup in a slow cooker. Do not forget that the water level during soaking of beans should exceed the level of the beans by 5 cm. So the beans must stand all night (that is, in the dark) .
Cooking soup
Peel the onions and chop them into small half rings. Peel medium-sized carrots with a vegetable peeler and cut into small squares. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the multicooker bowl, set the “fry” program and, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon, bring the onions and carrots until half cooked.
We transfer the beans into the multicooker bowl with the vegetables, pour in one and a half liters of beef broth, you can use cubes for the broth, in the latter case, pour in one and a half liters of clear water. Typically beans grow to twice their size. You should not add more beans than a glass; it will be enough for 4 servings of delicious bean soup.
Salt, add ground black pepper and savory, which is especially used in dishes with beans, because it neutralizes the side effect of legumes, in other words, reduces the formation of digestive gases. Savory is also called “bean weed.”
Peel the potatoes, cut into cubes and add to the multicooker bowl. To make soup in the Redmond multicooker, set the “stew” mode for 1 hour. After an hour, add the bay leaf and cook for another 10 minutes. Making bean soup in a Panasonic and Polaris multicooker is the same.
The first bean dish in a multicooker-pressure cooker is prepared twice as fast. Place beans and chopped vegetables in a bowl: potatoes, onions and carrots. Pour in beef broth and close the lid of the pressure cooker. Turn the valve to the “closed” position, set the “pressure cooker” mode and set the “soup” program for 30 minutes. After half an hour, open the valve, release the pressure, open the lid, add salt and pepper. Close the lid and let sit for 10 minutes.
In the photo, the bean soup is made from dry beans, but canned beans and green beans can also be used to make it. In this case, production time will be significantly reduced.
Before serving, sprinkle bean soup with dill and parsley. You can add cilantro and basil. Bean soup should be served with sour cream and rye bread.

Bean soup with beef in a slow cooker
Our family always loved dishes with beans. It not only adds beautiful taste and texture to any dish, but also has many necessary parameters.
In the modern world, life is very fast-paced, so I am constantly trying to come up with time-saving recipes. This bold and colorful soup is one of my husband's winners.
Have you tried making bean soup? I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite soup recipes that will warm you up in the winter cold. This dish is perfectly suitable for the cool season, but in the summer I prefer a dish made from new vegetables.
There are several methods for preparing bean soup, but since at the beginning I said about saving time, we’ll take canned one. It is one hundred percent ready to eat and does not require additional steps such as soaking or long cooking.
The dish turns out satisfying with a catchy rich taste and smell.
- beef - 300 g;
- onion (large) - 1 pc.;
- carrots 1-2 pcs.;
- canned beans - 1 can;
- potatoes 3-4 pcs.;
- salt - 0.5 tbsp;
- spices - to taste;
- vegetable oil - for frying.
I get 6-7 full servings.
Before cooking, I defrost the beef one hundred percent, remove the films and remove small fatty bits. This recipe is made with a shoulder blade, but in my experience, a thigh bone works just fine.
But meat on the bone is not recommended, since it must first be boiled and the pulp separated, and then you can start cooking the soup. This greatly complicates the process and takes time.
Pour 3-4 tbsp into the multicooker bowl. l. vegetable oil, I use regular sunflower (refined). Add onions and carrots.
Grind in advance using a method that is comfortable for you. Some people like carrots to float in chunks in soup, but I like to grate them.
Turn on the “frying” mode for 15 minutes.
5 minutes before the end of the program, add the beans. For this recipe it will come in handy in tomato sauce, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s snow-white or reddish.
If you only find juice in the refrigerator, nothing terrible. Drain the liquid and mix the beans with tomato paste or ketchup. Add a little salt and ground pepper. If the mixture is very thick, add 1/3 cup boiling water and stir well.
After the multicooker signal, take out the mixture and put it in a separate bowl. Vegetables and beans are already one hundred percent ready, but if we cook them together with meat for an hour, they will not only lose all their beneficial characteristics, but will also turn into a tasteless porridge.
I don’t wash the multicooker, as it has become saturated with a delicious smell; I just add more oil and lay out the chopped pieces of beef. The meat is hard and requires a long cooking time, so I fry the pieces for 15 minutes in advance.
There will be a beautiful crust on top, but the inside will still be raw. While the beef is cooking: wash, peel and dice the potatoes.
After the beep, add it to the meat.
Then I pour in 2 liters of filtered water and select the “soup” mode. Cooking - 1 hour. After 45 minutes, I add a mixture of onions, carrots and beans to the slow cooker. I mix, salt, pepper and add a pinch of Provençal herbs or other spices.
If you want to prepare the thickest soup, it is better to choose the “stew” mode.
Pour the finished dish into plates and serve. It mixes perfectly with the freshest herbs, for example with finely chopped dill or green onions.
True, I often forget to buy them in the store, but there is always a way out. In the summer, when there is a lot of greenery, I chop it finely and freeze it, and later I simply take it out of the freezer and throw the required amount into the soup.
And to make your lunch more filling and tasty, be sure to take a piece of rye bread. I cook it myself, also in a slow cooker; you can find the recipe here.
Write in the comments if you liked the soup made from canned beans with beef? Be sure to try it, it will perfectly warm you up on winter evenings; thanks to its thickness and richness, it is suitable not only for lunch, but also for dinner.
Excellent bean soup recipe. I prefer raw beans, they require more time to process, but, as it seems to me, do not contain unsuitable preservatives. By the way, we also cut the greens and freeze them in molds. A very successful method. You can always eat the freshest greens and don’t have to wash and cut them every time!
Looks appetizing. I also like bean soups. But I cook them differently. It comes out great in a slow cooker and the taste should be different from something cooked over a gas stove fire. You need to prepare it too.
The soup is just right for winter. Rich and tasty. Beef is healthier for babies than pork. I cook beef dishes for my own child. And because the meat is quite hard, the slow cooker makes this meat soft and tender. Thanks for the good recipe.
Hello.
Please tell me. If you cook the soup in the “Soup” mode for 1 hour, but after 45 minutes you add the frying, then you mean that the mode is carried out for 45 minutes, at the end of it you release the steam, open the lid, add the frying and it sits for the remaining 15 minutes with the rest of the contents? Or does the mode last for 1 hour, and during the mode you need to interrupt it and add frying? Or cook soup in a slow cooker with the lid open; but then what is the point of cooking in a slow cooker rather than in a regular saucepan?
Hello! I prepared this dish in an ordinary slow cooker. Judging by your description “at the end, release the steam, open the lid, add the frying and it sits for the remaining 15 minutes with the rest of the contents,” you are talking about a multicooker-pressure cooker. In ordinary multicookers, there is no need to release steam and you can open/close the lid as much as you want.
I add the frying 15 minutes before the end of cooking. In your case, you can put it in right away and cook until the end of the program without opening the lid.

Bean soup in a slow cooker - the main principles of production
Cooking bean soup in a slow cooker is a pleasure. There is no need to worry that the beans will not cook or will burn. There is no need to constantly supervise the manufacturing process, which means you can spend more time with your loved ones.
Bean soup in a slow cooker is cooked in meat, vegetable or fish broth. Any meat is suitable for meat broth: chicken, pork, lamb or beef.
To make the beans cook faster, they are soaked for at least several hours beforehand, but it is better to do this in the evening.
In a multicooker bowl, first fry chopped onions and grated carrots. Do this in the “Frying” or “Baking” mode. Then chopped potatoes, meat and soaked beans are placed in the container.

The Lenten version is prepared in vegetable broth.
In addition to beans and potatoes, other vegetables or noodles are added to the soup.
