Split Pea Soup in the Instant Pot is a delicious hearty soup. Making it in the instant pot means you can easier it much sooner. Quick & easy is perfect for a cold winter day.
When I was a little girl (less than 6 years old), my mom and I flew to California to visit family. We all went to a restaurant that I only know as the Big Yellow House. The first course was Split Pea Soup. I loved it so much that I didn’t eat any other courses. I just ate bowl after bowl. Since then I have loved Split Pea Soup.
I came across a recipe a few years ago that was the best Split Pea Soup that I had ever had. But it took all day to make. Usually when I want split pea soup, I want it immediately. But the canned stuff just doesn’t cut it. I set out to figure out how to make it in the instant pot. It didn’t take long to master it.
This soup is thick. If you like it a little thinner, you can just add more water. Also this soup is very hearty. It has ham in it. If you’d like it to be vegetarian, only a few changes need to be made.
