I did this in my instant pot in 45 minutes. I used dry beans so I added an extra 4 cups of water to the recipe (1 cup of beans). Also I didn’t have any cream or the same herbs but I used thyme, tarragon and sweet paprika and it came out delicious.
Instant Pot: 45 minutes and 4 C water for dried beans perfect. Used Quick Release. Upped salt due to increased water.
Used my crock pot for this yummy, yummy soup. Had no bacon so used cubes of ham and it worked fine. Don’t skimp on the spices. I was not familiar with marjoram but would use it again in a heartbeat. It was so good! At the end (after about 6 hours in our crock pot), we decided to pass on the cream because the soup was just so good already. Highly recommend.
Did not have bacon and replaced it with chicken sausages. Did not have marjoram and replaced it with sage. Mine was done at the 5 hour mark. at the end it was a very yummy and healthy soup. Thanks for sharing it.
