Instant Pot Split Pea Soup
This Instant Pot Split Pea Soup is hearty, cozy, and quick to assemble! You won’t want to wait for autumn to cuddle up to this soup.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 2 carrot peeled and diced
- 2 celery diced, stalks
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound green split peas rinsed, dried
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to the 'sauté' function and heat the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Then add the rinsed split peas, vegetable broth, and thyme.
- Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, set the valve to 'sealing', and cook on manual high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid carefully, season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and stir well. If desired, use an immersion blender to purée the soup for a smoother texture.
