Instant Pot Ham Bean Soup
"If you’re using a ham hock with ham meat, you don’t have to add the additional cooked diced ham. We used a ham bone that was stripped of most the meat, so we added the extra diced ham. The saltiness of the broth will vary greatly depending on how well seasoned your chicken broth is and if the ham is salted. Make sure to taste the broth after cooking and adjust seasoning accordingly. Instant Pot needs to be a 6-qt size or larger...."
