27 Minute Ham & Bean Soup

My parents bought us a Cuisinart pressure cooker for Christmas. The instructions are for use with the pressure cooker, but you could easily do this in a slow cooker our on the stove top. It just takes longer. The great thing about using a pressure cooker for this recipe is that you can have bean soup in about 20 minutes that tastes like it has been simmering all day.
