Sweet Potato Black Bean Quinoa Chili

Nothing is better than a soup that cooks in 15 minutes or less, that you can dump together with pantry staples, to create a healthy & filling meal. This is also just as great to make for potlucks, too… as it travels well, and is full of healthy vegetables that will fill you up without leaving you feeling heavy and bloated.

This soup whips up rather fast in the Instant Pot – and although you can use a Crock Pot, instead… you will want to use the Instant Pot just for the sheer fact that it takes LESS time – compare minutes to hours. Have we mentioned how much we love this appliance? It’s amazing.

We started with Sweet Potatoes – which are relatively inexpensive if you buy at Costco (5 lb. Bag of Organic are just over $1 per lb). Our last CSA share had plenty of Sweet Potatoes so we used just 3 medium size potatoes, peeled and diced.

This past week, we made Quinoa in our Instant Pot (which takes minutes, too!) and kept the rest back for this Chili since it would be a time saver.

Everything else was literally from our CSA Share (Celery, Bell Pepper, Onion, Garlic) or our pantry (Organic Black Beans, and a can of Diced Organic Tomatoes).

Once you throw everything together, set the Instant Pot for 12 minutes – use that time to set the table, or wash up the kitchen.

This recipe not only travels well, you can keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Checkout more recent Instant Pot Recipes HERE.. and HERE.
