Ingredients
- 200 g Adzuki bean soaked, dried
- 1 L water filtered, 4 cups
- 85 g Chinese rock sugar or other sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and soak the dried adzuki beans in a bowl with enough water to cover (at least 8 hours, or overnight).
- Drain the water, and place the beans into the Instant Pot liner.
- Cover the beans with 4 C water and add in rock sugar.
- Place the lid on, set to vent to SEAL and press the BEAN/CHILI function -- 25-28 minutes, HIGH PRESSURE.
- Once the beans have cooked, open the lid and use an immersion blender to blend the red bean soup.
- Or transfer about half of the beans and some liquid to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended mixture to the pot and stir. You can skim off and discard the foam.
- Depending on your preference, you can blend the entire soup for a smooth red bean soup, or you can leave some beans unblended for texture. Add additional water if you feel the soup is too thick.
- Serve the red bean soup hot or cold.
