Ham, Potato and Corn Chowder Soup

by kaella, posted in Food and Recipes, Uncategorized

This is a favorite recipe of mine to make on a cold winter day, which we have had ALOT of them lately. It is a hardy soup that just seems to warm the body and soul!

The directions for this soup are done with my instant pot but you can easily convert it to a crock pot or stock pot on the stove. Another thing that I love about this recipe is that you can use the ham that you have leftover from another meal or use ham steaks. My Christina gave us a bunch of ham steaks, so I chopped one up for the soup and YUMMY!

In the Winter, Pot Roast is one of my favorite meals to make and enjoy. It is an easy, hearty meal that just hits the spot on a cold winter evening. With my recent obsession of my Instant Pot, I wanted to experiment with making my Pot Roast in the Pot. Let’s just say, I am super happy with how it turned out and I didn’t have to start it in the morning like the Crock Pot or pot on the stovetop!

One note that I am going to give you is for the amount of time to pressurize the roast, I approximated 20 minutes per pound. My roast was just under 3 pounds so I set it to 55 minutes and it came out perfect!
