Ham and Bean Soup – Instant Pot

Gather the following ingredients:

Cubed ham

15 bean mix – cajun is best even if you don’t use the seasoning

7-8 cups of water

Add all of the ingredients to the pot – you do not need the rack

Put on lid and set venting to seal

Hit manual and set time to 1hr 45 minutes – walk away

When the time has ended the instant pot will count up.

When ready to eat set the top to vent, do not put hand over steam. Once fully vented you can open the lid.

Taste a bean to make sure it is done. If not fully cooked cook for another 15 minutes. It should look more like soup then water and beans when it is ready.

Ham and Potato Soup

There are few soups that I love as much as ham and potato soup. It is a great alternative to ham and bean soup for that leftover holiday ham.

Gather the following ingredients:

8 oz. ham
2 1/2 lbs. potatoes
2 cans chicken broth
1 tbls. Dijon mustard

1 1/2 cups milk
1 can cream of celery

1/4 tsp. garlic powder
salt

Dutch oven or the biggest pot you can find

Cut the ham into cubes. Dice the potatoes. Add ham, potatoes, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth to the Dutch oven. Boil until the potatoes until they are tender, about 30 minutes once it starts to boil.
