Directions

1
Turn Instant Pot on "Sauté”, and add oil.
2
Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
3
Add the ham bone, diced ham, broth, Worcestershire, celery, carrots, dried beans, bay leaf, dried thyme, optional ground cumin, salt and pepper. And add any additional optional veggies. Stir the mixture.
4
Close the lid, set to high pressure, and after the pressure cooker reaches full pressure, cook for 60 minutes (These are the steps we did for our Instant Pot: Press "Cancel" to stop the "Sauté" setting. Press the "Manual" button. Set the time to 60 minutes.)
5
After the cooking time is complete, press "Cancel" and carefully release the pressure.
6
Remove ham bones and any excess fatty chunks from the Instant Pot and pull off any ham meat and cut into small pieces.
7
Add the ham back into the Instant Pot. If you want a thicker soup, mash a few of the beans in the soup. Give the soup a good stir and add additional salt and pepper, to taste.
8
Garnish with minced parsley (optional).
9
Serve warm with bread.
