1 pound dried navy beans
olive oil
6 cloves garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 and 3/4 smoked pork shank
leftover ham shank
parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt

smoked pork

đŸ„—Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

1

Pick over and rinse 1 pound of dried navy beans, discarding any broken or discolored beans.

2

Preheat the Instant Pot on the highest sauté setting and add olive oil.

3

Add aromatics (onion, carrot, celery) and sauté for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to scorch it.

5

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth to deglaze the bottom of the pot, ensuring nothing is stuck.

6

Add the rinsed navy beans and 1 and 3/4 smoked pork shank to the pot, making sure the meat is fully submerged.

7

Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, allowing for a natural pressure release for 25 to 35 minutes afterward.

8

Remove the bay leaves and smoked pork shank from the pot, discarding the bay leaves and bones, and shred the meat into smaller pieces, adding it back to the soup.

9

Taste the soup and add 3/4 teaspoon salt if needed, depending on the saltiness of the meats and broth used.

10

Serve with chopped parsley for color, and optionally add a pat of butter or grated parmesan.
