HAM POTATO SOUP INSTANT POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
• When butter melts, add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes.
• Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add potatoes, ham, garlic powder and pepper and stir to combine.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for >8 minutes.
• When the time is up, quick-release the pressure.
• Stir the pot ingredients, then add the sour cream and stir until combined.
• Gradually add cheese, stirring between each addition, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
• Adjust seasonings. Top with chives and additional shredded cheese for serving.

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).
