What a cozy dinner! The weather in San Diego the last two days has me craving soup and I rarely ever crave soup. Soup vibes coming in hot and I’m here for it.
Dice and chop, celery, onion, carrots and ham. Set aside
Turn Instant Pot to sauté and wait until it reads “Hot”
Add butter/ghee and garlic to Instant Pot and sauté. Then add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Toss in the ham cubes and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then turn the Instant Pot off.
Add the broth and deglaze bottom of pot if needed. Then you'll add the diced carrots, and celery, split peas, and pepper to taste.
Close lid and set to manual for 15 minutes. Quick release pressure and open lid.
Begin to stir! The peas will break down and form a thick soup. The more you stir the smoother the soup will become. I enjoy soups thick and creamy!
