Instant Pot Ham and Macaroni Soup

Using the saute setting in your instant pot, heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook until aromatic and the onions become translucent roughly about 3-4 minutes. Add the cubed ham and saute for another minute or 2.

Add the celery and carrots, uncooked macaroni, and chicken broth. Cover and ensure that the pressure release valve is in a sealing position. Press MANUAL (High Pressure) and set to 5 minutes.  When the time’s up, shift from sealing to venting and allow quick release. Immediately uncover once the pressure has been released and all the steam has escaped.

Pour the evaporated milk and fish sauce and shift back to saute setting and cook just until the milk is fully heated through (about 1 minute or so). Don't let it cook too long or the macaroni may become too mushy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if desired. Ladle into bowls and top with green onions. Serve immediately.
