Instructions

  1. In the insert of a 6-Quart or larger Instant Pot, combine all ingredients except the broth, peanut butter, peas, salt, and tamari. Stir well.
  2. Secure the lid, and set to sealing. Cook on normal/manual high pressure for 10 minutes. It will take approx. 15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, then the countdown timer will begin.
  3. While the soup is cooking, heat the 1 cup of broth on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot. Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth and fully incorporated. Set aside.
  4. When the Instant Pot beeps and the 10 minutes is up, carefully quick release the pressure (this will take 2 to 3 minutes). Remove the lid. Add the green peas and salt, and stir. Add the peanut butter-broth mixture, and stir again.
  5. Taste and season with tamari or more salt, if desired. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with lime.
