Ingredients
- 1 large carrot chopped
- 2 sticks celery chopped
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound (approx.) smoked ham cut into small pieces
- 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled & cut into 1" pieces
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your celery, carrot, and onion and add them to your Instant Pot along with the olive oil. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, prep your ham and potatoes (or prep them at the start - up to you!).
- Stir in the garlic, followed by the ham, potatoes, Italian seasoning, chicken broth, and water. Set pressure valve on "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. It'll take 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
- Once the countdown has finished, release the pressure manually. You can let it naturally release if you want the potatoes to be very fall-apart tender.
- Using a potato masher, lightly mash some of the potatoes right in the Instant Pot. I like a mix of potato pieces and a bit of mash. Season with salt & pepper and serve immediately. This soup makes great leftovers.

Notes
- Inactive time in this recipe indicates the time it takes the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
- I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
- Don't own an Instant Pot? Try the stovetop version or the slow cooker version of this recipe.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth if salt is a concern for you.
- You can use a different variety of potatoes if you wish, but I do love the starchy Russets.
