INSTANT POT® SPLIT PEA AND HAM SOUP



Instant Pot® Split Pea and Ham Soup image

Cooking split peas under pressure makes them nearly instantly creamy. This recipe is very close to a classic split pea soup, but I have the option of cooking with or without a meaty ham bone. If you just have ham, it will be just as great with the combination of celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, and split peas. Get ready for a thick and flavorful broth!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ tablespoons salted butter
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 large stalk celery, diced
½ large onion, diced
½ pound diced cooked ham
1 potato, peeled and diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cups chicken broth, divided
½ pound dried split peas
2 bay leaves
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), and select Saute function. Add butter and olive oil; heat until butter is melted. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until onion is nearly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ham and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add potato; cook and stir to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot, for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 cups chicken broth, split peas, and bay leaves. Turn Saute function off.
  • Close and lock the lid and seal the valve. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 12 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 2 to 3 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Unlock and remove the lid. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as desired. If soup is too thick, select Saute function and add remaining 1 cup chicken broth. Stir until heated through and desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately with Cheddar cheese sprinkled over top.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even ham broth.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: Pea soup is a hearty and filling soup, but it's even better when served with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Pea soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a pot of pea soup that will warm you up and fill you up.
