Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 medium onions
  • 3 ribs celery
  • 5 carrots
  • 4 yellow potatoes
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
  • 1 tbsp stock concentrate
  • 1 litre water
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 250 ml sour cream (full fat)
  • 4 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 350 g canned salmon (2 small cans)

Instructions
 

  • Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Chop the onions and add them to the pot with the butter and the salt.
  • While the onions start to cook, chop the celery and add that into the pot.
  • Do the same with the carrots, garlic, and potatoes, stirring them while they sauté so all the vegetables cook evenly.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the veggies.
  • Add the corn, the stock concentrate, the water, and the bay leaves, and close the lid of the Instant Pot making sure it is in the sealed position.
  • Turn the sauté function off, and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
  • Tip the canned salmon into a bowl and break it up into small pieces. You can remove the larger bones if you like, but they are totally edible (and very nutritious).
  • Turn the Instant Pot off, release the pressure, then remove the lid and stir in the sour cream and the dill.
  • Once the sour cream and dill are fully incorporated, add the canned salmon pieces, put the lid back on and leave it alone for 5 minutes. This will allow the residual heat of the soup to heat the salmon to heat through.
