Ingredients

  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery ribs chopped
  • 1 ½ cups green cabbage roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ cups ham chopped
  • 1 ½ cups potatoes roughly chopped
  • 4 ½ cups chicken broth or stock, low sodium
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½-1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Cut up the onion, carrot, celery, cabbage, ham, and potatoes, and put them in the Instant Pot.
  • Mix the chicken broth with the bay leaf, balsamic vinegar, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper and pour the liquid over the cabbage and ham mixture. Give everything a good stir.
  • Close the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the knob to seal.
  • Set the Instant Pot to cook on “meat/stew” for 15 minutes.
  • Once the timer goes off, do a natural release for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and remove the bay leaf. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can use any type of ham, but I wouldn’t recommend thin sliced deli ham. It needs to be able to stand up to pressure cooking.
