This was great! Made with the butternut squash and a mix of veg and turkey broth in the instant pot. My 2 yo and husband both loved dipping crackers and tortillas and the taco toppings – cheddar, avocado, sour cream – were all great additions! My daughter said “Mommy this is yummy”!! So it get her seal of approval!

My one year old daughter and I loved this both times we had it! We had it “fresh” and then I froze the other servings, and we had it again a week later. It was delicious both times.

In reply to Erin. Hi, it's not a typo. I've made it with less and it didn't have much flavor. The other recipe has orange in it so I didn't use as much. But good to know it was too much for you, I'll take that into consideration.

I just made this and the cumin flavor is very strong. The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of cumin; I thought this was a lot when I was making it but I followed the recipe. The other black bean recipe on your site calls for 2 teaspoons of cumin. So, I am assuming this is a typo.

I teach a special class in an intermediate school. My students make soup for teacher weekly. In the last two weeks, we made three batches of this recipe. The soup sells out so quickly. All the teachers LOVE it and many have wanted the recipe. The best part was of my 11 students 8 loved it!! I’ve never had such success with a recipe. Thank you!

This is such an easy and delicious recipe. I ended up not blending the ingredients at the end but instead left in the whole beans and sweet potato cubes and added quinoa at the start and It was similar to a healthier version of chili and was soo good. Even better as leftovers the next day : )

In reply to Jolanda. Hi- I'm glad to hear that about the soup. It can take time for it to build up pressure, but more so if the ingredients you put in are very cold. 30 minutes does seem long (it often takes at least 10), but not outside the window of what could be normal for a larger volume of food. I hope that helps!

This soup was easy to make and on day two absolutely the best. Thank you for all your great recipes, our grandson loves them too 🙂

Just one question, it took my IP duo crisp almost 30minutes to build up steam. It is a new one and I wondered if that is normal. I hope you will reply to my question because I searched the internet and could not find any info about what is a normal amount of time to build up pressure for a 7.6 pot.

Easy and tasty! My kids didn’t love it, but they ate it, which is impressive enough. 😉 My husband and I both enjoyed it, too. Not a go-to or a favorite, but something easy to pop in the slow cooker on a day where we’ll be out late. Thank you!
