Instant pot Ham & Potato Soup

 This is THE BEST ham and potato soup! 

Serves 8-10

Ingredients 
8 cups peeled and diced potatoes 
1 diced yellow onion (about a cup)
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery 
16-ounce Cubed Ham (I like to get the pre-cooked quarter hams they have at Walmart or wherever but you can use any cooked ham.)
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chicken broth or chicken Bone Broth

1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream or whole milk 

1/2 cup sour cream

Place the chopped veggies and ham in the instant pot and push them to one side as much as possible. 

Place the diced potatoes in the other side.

Sprinkle the salt and pepper on and then add the chicken broth. 

Turn instant pot on to manual for 5 minutes. 

When it’s finished release the pressure. 

Open and use a potato masher to mash up the potatoes as much as you can. (It makes it easier when you place them on the side of the veggies.) 

Turn instant pot onto sauté. 

Add the flour, sour cream, and milk/cream. Constantly stir for 3-5 minutes and let it thicken on the sauté setting. Turn off and serve! 

This can also be made in a crock pot, follow instructions the same but let cook on low for 4-6 hours instead. Would also be yummy without the ham and just potatoes.
