How to Make Instant Pot Split Pea Soup
I don’t really like the term “dump”. It’s just a “word” thing with me. But, it aptly describes this soup. To the bowl of a pressure cooker, you will add all of the ingredients. Pour 4 cups of water over the veggies, add the seasoning, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. That’s it. Naturally release the pressure while you’re assembling a green salad and slicing some crusty French bread. I told you it was simple!
What Kind of Ham to Use in This Soup
This is a great way to use leftover ham from the holidays. Or, simply buy some thick sliced ham from the deli counter. If you happen to have a couple of ham hocks in the freezer, throw them in too!
