Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion about 1/2 onion
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 14- ounce cans sweet corn
  • 2 cups cubed ham
  • 2 cups cubed potatoes
  • 2 cups half-and-half

Instructions
 

  • Turn your Instant Pot on to "saute." Add the butter and let it melt.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the onion. Cook the onion, stirring frequently with a nylon or wooden spoon, until it turns translucent (3-5 minutes).
  • Add the flour, and quickly whisk to form a thick paste.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the corn (undrained), ham, and potatoes.
  • Cover and lock the Instant Pot.
  • Press "cancel," then press "soup." Set for normal time on high pressure.
  • When the Instant Pot is done cooking, let it slowly release pressure for 5 minutes, then quick-release the rest of the pressure.
  • When you can safely remove the lid of the Instant Pot, open it and add the half-and-half. Stir to combine.
  • Cover the Instant Pot (do not lock), and keep it on the "keep warm" setting until the half-and-half is heated through.
  • Serve immediately.
