Instant Pot Leftover Hambone Soup

The best way to use up leftover ham! With the most flavorful broth, this hearty, cozy soup is so simple yet SO SO GOOD.

I honestly look forward to the leftover ham more so than the holiday ham itself.

I just get so excited to repurpose the leftovers, whether that’s in some ham and cheese drop biscuits, baked ham and cheese croissants, or this hambone soup.

Yes, hambone soup is one of my all-time holiday favorites.

I didn’t even know you could use your leftover hambone until 2013! Since then, I have been making this stovetop version every. single. year. It’s cozy, it’s hearty, and it’s loaded with so many hearty veggies (another great way to use up your holiday leftovers!) to complement the sweet chunks of ham.

It is perfection. And now you can make it right in the pressure cooker without any kind of babysitting or fuss, creating the most flavorful ham stock ever.

Serve with crusty bread and keep warm during this winter season! I just read there’s a winter storm headed to the northeast!
