Instant Pot Potato Soup With Ham Recipes

INSTANT POT HAM AND POTATO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep your celery, carrot, and onion and add them to your Instant Pot along with the olive oil. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, prep your ham and potatoes (or prep them at the start - up to you!).
• Stir in the garlic, followed by the ham, potatoes, Italian seasoning, chicken broth, and water. Set the lid on "sealing". Press the "manual" button and set the timer to cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. It'll take 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
• Once the countdown has finished, release the pressure manually (use caution - soup can splatter a bit). You can let it naturally release if you want the potatoes to be very fall-apart tender.
• Using a potato masher, lightly mash some of the potatoes right in the Instant Pot. I like a mix of potato pieces and a bit of mash. Season with salt & pepper and serve immediately. This soup makes great leftovers.

• Add the garlic, salt and pepper, stir well - saute for another 30 seconds. Add the ham and chicken stock. Stir well. Change the setting to manual.
• Add the lid to the Instant Pot and seal. Turn the vent to the seal position. Change setting to steam and set the timer to 11 minutes.
• When the timer goes off. Do a quick release by opening the vent valve. Allow all of the steam to release.
• When the steam is completely released, remove the lid. Add the cheese and half and half. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they are the consistency you desire.
• Check the seasoning. You may need to add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add Tabasco sauce if desired. Stir again, serve and enjoy!

INSTANT POT HAM AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot, and add the butter, carrot, onion, garlic, and celery to the pot. Cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. (This is an optional step. You can dump everything in at once if you want).
• Add the ham, potatoes, and vegetable stock to the Instant Pot. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and close the lid. Lock the lid, move the valve to "Sealing" and cook on Manual for 10 minutes.
• When the ham and potato soup is done, and you hear the beep sound, press the Cancel/Keep Warm button. Turn the valve to "Venting" and quick release until all the pressure is out.
• Stir in the heavy cream and serve warm.

INSTANT POT CHEESY HAM AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, celery, onion, ham, garlic and thyme and broth in Instant Pot.
• Shut and lock lid and set to pressure for 10 minutes.
• When the timer goes off, quick release steam.
• While the IP is doing its magic, in separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook stirring constantly until thick.
• Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form and all milk is added. Turn up to medium heat. Continue to stir until thick (4-5 minutes).
• Add in cheese and stir until melted.
• Stir the cheese mixture into the Instant Pot after you performed step 3. Set to saute on high and cook until heated through about 3 minutes. (I also will break up some of the potatoes for thickness. It gets thicker as it cools and next day).
