Description

Delicious Instant Pot® split pea soup that delivers rich, deep flavor in just over an hour.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon dried thyme
3 carrots, chopped
6 slices bacon, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound green split peas, rinsed and sorted

Directions

1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Let warm up and add butter and olive oil. Add onion, celery, bay leaves, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add carrots, bacon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in split peas. Close and lock the lid; set release knob to Sealing position.
3. Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 18 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Turn steam release knob to Venting and use quick-release function for the remaining pressure. Carefully open lid. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
