During the week there is not much time to cook elaborate meals but we still need to eat well.

Sunday night or Monday morning I drag out the old Instant Pot and that poor thing runs for hours! I cook all of my grains and beans I need for the week so when dinner comes around I just throw a dish together and I don’t have to worry about soaking, or cooking beans or whole grains.

That’s where this recipe came about. I had a butternut squash hanging around and some black beans in the fridge so into the Instant Pot it went, along with half an onion, a couple cloves of garlic and thats about it.

This recipe is delicious, easy to throw together and is healthy enough you can use it on a cleanse.

You can keep it simple or be creative and add your own flare with spices and other additions like avocado, tomatoes, or peppers.

This soup is full of protein, fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, Potassium, Calcium,. Magnesium and Iron.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot not to worry this can easily be done on the stovetop.
