Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 potatoes cubed
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1 pound split peas
- 1 ham hock see note
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 3 cups broth ham is preffered, chicken will work.
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingreidnets into the Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot with the vent in the sealing position.
- Cook on manual high pressure for 17 minutes.
- Natural pressure release for at least 10 minutes. Otherwise the soup will come out of the vent on the Instant Pot (very dangerous!)
- Remove the ham hock, trim ham, and add back into the soup. If you're using pre-cooked chopped ham, add it in now, stir, and let warm through.

Notes
- If you're using a ham hock, add it at the beginning and pressure cook it with the remaining ingredients.
- In the video here, I did not use a ham hock or chopped ham because it has been difficult to find in my area! I highly recommend using it though.
- If you cannot find a ham hock, use diced ham that is already cooked and add it at the end. If you pressure cook the diced ham, it will just dissolve into the soup.
