Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch or similar ingredient
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 pound red potatoes cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1 package frozen corn
  • 8 ounces cooked ham diced

Instructions
 

  • First, set the Instant Pot to saute mode and add the olive oil.
  • Saute onions, once the oil is hot, for 5 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic and continue sautéing for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Stir in cornstarch and saute. After about 5 minutes, it will be brown and bubbly and this is what we want.
  • Turn off Instant Pot and add chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot pan with a spatula to remove stuck-on pieces of food. Keep everything in the pot still!
  • Add parsley, thyme, and black pepper and mix well.
  • Add heavy cream, potatoes, corn, and ham. Continue stirring to make sure it is well combined.
  • Place lid on instant pot and seal the vent. You will want to pressure cook it for 30 minutes.
  • When it is done cooking, do a natural release and stir before serving. Be careful as it will be hot!
