Split Pea and Ham Soup Recipe
Split pea and ham soup is so surprisingly easy. It takes about 3 minutes of chopping, 4 minutes of pressure cooking time and then 20 minutes to just let it sit.
Ingredients
- 1 pound split peas
- 3 cups diced ham
- bone from ham or smoked ham hock (optional)
- 3 carrots, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 quarts water
Instructions
- Rinse peas and drain. Pick out anything that's "not-pea" :-)
- Place all ingredients into pressure cooker, set on high for 4 minutes. When cooking is done, leave the pressure cooker to sit for an additional 15-20 minutes to let pressure and steam escape.
