What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 5 ounces split peas
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 ounce ham
  • 2 ounces onion (diced)
  • 4 ounces celery (chopped)
  • 4 ounces carrots (diced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 3 cups unsalted chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
Directions
  1. Soak the split peas overnight in cool, filtered water.
  2. Set the Instant Pot on the “Sauté” setting. Add butter and ham. Quickly sauté for a minute.
  3. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  4. Add salt, ground black pepper, bay leaves, and thyme. Sauté for another minute.
  5. Drain the pre-soaked split peas. Add them to the pot to sauté.
  6. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream, give them a quick stir.
  7. Remove the bay leaf.
  8. Place the lid on and set the steam release valve to sealing position. Cook on the “Steam” setting for 30 minutes.
  9. When the time is up, turn the steam release valve to venting position to quick-release the steam. Open the lid and stir the soup. It should have a similar consistency to porridge.
  10. Turn the Instant Pot back to “Sauté” setting for 5 minutes to thicken the soup a bit more if desired.
  11. Taste and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
