Ingredients

7 SERVINGS

 

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

3 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)

1 yellow onion (chopped)

1/4 cup flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 ham bone (leftover cooked, preferably with a bit of meat still attached)

1 cup chopped ham

1 russet potato (peeled and cut into small cubes)

1 cup frozen corn

15 ounces kidney beans (rinsed and drained)

14.5 ounces diced tomatoes

32 ounces chicken broth (container, or chicken stock)

 

Set to saute the Instant Pot. Heat the olive oil and stir in the garlic, carrots, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and sauté for 3 minutes or until tender and fragrant.

Along with the sliced ham, potatoes, corn, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and chicken stock or broth, add the ham bone to the pot. Place the cover on the pot and set the timer at high pressure for 10 minutes (soup setting). Before it starts cooking, it will take the IP about 28 minutes to build up pressure.

Let pressure escape naturally for 5 minutes when cooking is finished. Do a fast release and take the cover off. Move the ham bone gently to a cutting board using a tongue. Pick the remaining meat from the bone using a fork. Send the meat back to instant pot, discard bone, stir and serve!
