If you haven’t got a slow cooker you can still make this in a pan on the stove, or you could head over to Amazon to pick one up.
The Instant Pot
What can I say about the Instant Pot? It’s like a like a slow cooker/pressure cooker hybrid, and it’s probably one of our favourite, and most used kitchen gadgets.
If you’ve never heard of it you really should go and check it out over on Amazon. Imagine the best Slow Cooker in the world, then times that by a hundred. There’s not much that it can’t do!
It’s a slow cooker and a pressure cooker, which means you can cook recipes like this Slow Cooker Syn Free Ham, Leek and Potato Soup in about 30 minutes.
Remember the pressure cookers of old that would splutter and rock, and make all sorts of scary noises? None of that with the Instant Pot. Just set the time, close the lid and let it do it’s thing. It even keeps your food warm once it’s finished cooking! How good is that?

Syn Free Ham, Leek and Potato Soup
INGREDIENTS
Please don't take a screenshot. These recipes are updated often!
- 2 Leeks cut into chinks
- 400 g Gammon Joint cut into chunks, all visible fat removed
- 800 g Potatoes cut into chunks
- 1.5 ltr Chicken stock or veg stock (using 2 stock cubes for 1.5 ltr)
- Frylight
INSTRUCTIONS
- First sauté the leeks in a few sprays of Frylight, then add them to the slow cooker. If you use an Instant Pot set it to sauté
- When the leeks start to soften add the ham and the potatoes
- Top up with the stock
- Set to slow cook for 4 hours, or until the ham is tender and the potatoes soft
- When everything is cooked if you want the soup a bit thicker roughly mash up some of the potato, with a potato masher, just enough to thicken the soup slightly, then cook for another 30 minutes or so

I made this on Monday and it is very filling and you don’t miss the bread.
I added some fat free fromage frais from the creaminess and at was spot on
Hi there,
That’s a great idea 🙂
Hi there. How long would you cook it in the instant pot?
Hi Claire
It would probably take 15-20 minutes (Natural Pressure Release) if using the pressure cooker
