Ham & Cabbage Soup

– This Instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Soup is a delicious blend of cabbage, ham, potatoes, carrots, onion and celery that is both comforting and satisfying!

Ingredients
– 1 large onion chopped

– 1 large carrot peeled and chopped

– 2 celery ribs chopped

– 1 ½ cups green cabbage roughly chopped

– 1 ½ cups ham chopped

– 1 ½ cups potatoes roughly chopped

– 4 ½ cups chicken broth or stock, low sodium

– 1 bay leaf

– ½-1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar to taste

– 1 teaspoon dried parsley

– ½ teaspoon thyme

– ½ teaspoon salt

– ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
– Cut up the onion, carrot, celery, cabbage, ham, and potatoes, and put them in the Instant Pot.

– Mix the chicken broth with the bay leaf, balsamic vinegar, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper and pour the liquid over the cabbage and ham mixture. Give everything a good stir.

– Close the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the knob to seal.

– Set the Instant Pot to cook on “meat/stew” for 15 minutes.

– Once the timer goes off, do a natural release for 15 minutes.

– Remove the lid and remove the bay leaf. Serve immediately.

Notes:– You can use any type of ham, but I wouldn’t recommend thin sliced deli ham. It needs to be able to stand up to pressure cooking.
