Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 10 ounces yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 leftover ham bone
  • 5 ounces chopped leftover ham
  • 1 small head cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Instant Pot:

  2. 2

    If your electric pressure cooker features a sauté function, activate it by pressing the sauté button. Lightly coat the bottom with oil, then introduce the chopped onions, diced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté these ingredients for about 4 to 5 minutes until they soften.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the chicken broth, sliced carrots, 1 1/2 cups of water, cubed potatoes, the ham bone, and any leftover ham. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Allow the steam to escape naturally. After that, add the chopped cabbage and cook at high pressure for an additional 5 minutes. You can choose to release the pressure naturally or quickly.

  5. 5

    To prepare on the stove top:

  6. 6

    Use a large pot or Dutch oven to replicate the same steps as above. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for 1 hour, adding the cabbage during the final 10 to 15 minutes. Continue cooking until the cabbage and other vegetables reach a tender consistency.
