Instant Pot Ham and Wild Rice Soup

Happy New Year! This year I'm starting off with an Instant Pot ham a wild rice soup recipe. I make all kinds of soups during the holidays. Usually because there are so many leftovers from the holiday meals, but also because it's so damn cold. Currently it's about -14°.
