Instant Pot Ham and Bean Stew
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 (15.5 ounce) cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
Instructions
1
Turn on your pressure cooker and choose the Saute mode. Begin melting butter in the pot, then add sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced onion. Cook until these vegetables are tender, taking about 5 to 7 minutes.
2
Next, add the following ingredients to the pot: canned beans, vegetable broth, diced ham, a sprinkle of chili powder, minced garlic, a few grinds of black pepper, and a bay leaf. Close the lid securely and ensure it's locked in place. Refer to your pressure cooker's user manual for guidance on selecting the Soup setting, and cook until all the flavors have melded together, approximately 30 minutes.
3
Once cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally according to your manufacturer's instructions. This may take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the specific model and desired outcome.
