Can I use an Instant Pot For Vegan Soup Recipes?
You can use an Instant Pot, Crock-pot, or Multi-Function Cooker for your soups. Be sure to use the right settings for time and temperature. We opted for the stove-top when making this recipe.
Can I Use Other Seasonings?
Totally. The nice thing about this recipe is that it’s full of flavor, even through you aren’t using loads of different seasonings. Italian seasoning would make a lovely addition to this recipe, and for those who like heat, use some red pepper flakes.

Can I Use Different Beans In This Recipe?
The white beans used in this recipe are cannellini beans. They have an amazing creamy texture and mild flavor. You can use other beans such as butter beans or navy beans if you’d like to keep the texture and flavor in the same general ballpark.
Other beans can be used as well, but make sure you love their taste and texture in soup before using them.
I Can’t Eat Beans. Can I Use Lentils Instead?
You can use red lentils (or your favorite colour) in place of the beans in this recipe. It will change the overall texture and taste, and may effect your cooking time as well. You may want to cook your lentils separately, then add them in at the end.
