How Do I Make This Turkey and White Bean Soup Recipe?

Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker Instructions

Add all ingredients except spinach and peas to the Instant Pot, stir to combine. Cook on Manual for 25 minutes. When finished cooking allow the instant pot to naturally release for 20 minutes (do not manual release). After 20 minutes, manually release the steam carefully.  Open the lid, discard bay leaves, and stir in the peas and spinach.  Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Stove Top Instructions

Use canned beans for this instead of dried.  Add all ingredients except spinach and peas to a large stock pot. Stir and bring to a boil.  Cover with a lid, and reduce heat to a slow simmer.  Cook on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes or so to make sure wild rice don’t stick to the bottom of the pot and burn.  Remove and discard bay leaves. Add the peas and spinach in 10 minutes before serving. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

Slow Cooker Instructions

Add all ingredients to the Slow Cooker or Crock Pot, stir to combine. Cook On High for 6 hours, or Low on 8 hours. Rice and beans should be cooked all the way through.  Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.
