Recipe: Ham, Potato and Veggie Chowder - Instant Pot Edition

Got some left over holiday ham sitting in your fridge and you're wondering what to do with it? I have a soup for that! 

This came out really yummy and I ended up making it twice in one week. I used up our left over ham and it was perfect for the winter weather.

Ingredients:

3-4 Cups of cooked diced ham

2 cups of diced potatoes of your choice (I used organic baby red)

1 yellow onion, diced

1/2 cup celery, chopped

1/2 cup of organic white corn (frozen is fine. I get the bag from costco)

1/2 cup organic carrots, peeled and diced

3 cups of organic chicken broth

1 1/2 cups of organic whole milk

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp pepper, ground

1 tsp fresh garlic, pressed

1 tbsp organic butter

1 tbsp organic corn starch or arrowroot powder

Directions:

Turn Instant Pot on "saute mode" and wait tell it says "HOT". Add butter and let it melt (stir so it doesn't burn). Then add ham, garlic and onions. Stir frequently for about 1 min. Then add celery, corn, carrots and potatoes. Stir for 1 minute. Turn Instant Pot "off" then add milk, chicken broth, parsley, and pepper. Mix well. Then put the lid on the instant pot, select "soup" mode and 30 minutes should automatically come up. Leave it at that. Also make sure your pressure release valve is turned to "closed". 

After 30 minutes are up you can do a quick release (turn to warm mode and release pressure valve). Add corn starch or arrow root powder and stir well. Let soup sit for a few minutes to thicken up a little bit. Give it a taste and add a little salt/pepper if needed. 

Then just get that ladle out and serve! 

*Note it's really yummy to shred up some cheddar cheese and sprinkle it on top with a little bit more fresh parsley. YUM! 

I hope you enjoy :)
