🥣 Mexican Pinto Bean Soup Recipe + More Survey Results

Instant Pot Mexican Pinto Bean Soup (Charro Bean Soup) packs just the right amount of heat and is full of healthy protein in a rich and flavor-packed tomato-beer broth. [overhead shot of a white dish filled with chunky charro bean soup, topped with bacon and chopped cilantro on a stone gray backgrouond, with blue corn tortilla chips, limes, and cilantro in the background.] This pinto bean soup recipe comes from a new cookbook written by my friend Karen Lee Young, which I had a chance to review. It’s called the Electric Pressure Cooker Soup Cookbook, and it’s full of similarly delicious soups and stews to make in a pressure cooker. This recipe is called Mexican-Inspired Charro Bean Soup and can be found on page 52 of the new cookbook. It’s a riff on the author’s favorite Tex-Mex soup recipe, and it packs some serious spice. I mellowed out the heat for my family, but I’ve included the original ingredients if you like things spicy. Either way, it’s a warming dinner for fall.

But I loved this statistic: over 58% of survey respondents use their pressure cookers at least weekly. HOWEVER, when you narrow it down to the people who took a month or longer to get it out of the box, only 11% use their Instant Pot at least weekly. Were you surprised at this? I really was! I had assumed that once people unboxed it, they'd fall in love with it. But it looks like so many people don't move past the intimidation and overwhelm. Have ideas for how Barbara and I can help your friends get their pressure cookers out of the box?
