Notes

  • There are 0 Freestyle points in this Instant Pot soup recipe. Yeap, zero!! 
  • Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
  • Try making it as a thicker purée (add less vegetable stock) and serving as a dip. This is popular in the Northern region of Morocco where they accompany it with Moroccan bread called khobz.
  • You can easily make this with Indian flavours by swapping in spices like curry powder or garam masala.
  • Top pressure cooker split pea soup with pickled vegetables, a dollop of unflavoured yoghurt (if not vegan), or homemade croutons.
  • Adjust the time under pressure depending upon your desired consistency. If you like your split peas with a bite, set the timer to 12 mins. For softer peas, cook them for 15 mins.
  • Not vegan? Try adding cooked bacon or ham to the final dish or add a leftover ham bone to the cooking process to infuse a delicious flavour into the soup.
  • Instant Pot Split Pea Soup will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, add in additional stock.
  • You can freeze Instant Pot Split Pea Soup for easy meal prep. Freeze in individual portions or freeze all of it at once. You can use freezer-safe bags, plastic containers, etc.
  • Steamed Instant Pot Broccoli on the side for a super healthy meal
  • Homemade Corn Tortillas
  • Shredded chicken (if not vegan)
