Cooking split peas under pressure makes them nearly instantly creamy. This recipe is very close to a classic split pea soup, but I have the option of cooking with or without a meaty ham bone. If you just have ham, it will be just as great with the combination of celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, and split peas. Get ready for a thick and flavorful broth!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), and select Saute function.

Add butter and olive oil; heat until butter is melted.

Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until onion is nearly translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add ham and cook for 1 minute.

Add potato; cook and stir to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot, for 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Add 3 cups chicken broth, split peas, and bay leaves.

Turn Saute function off.

Close and lock the lid and seal the valve.

Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes.

Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 12 minutes.

Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 2 to 3 minutes.

Unlock and remove the lid.

Unlock and remove the lid.

Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as desired.

If soup is too thick, select Saute function and add remaining 1 cup chicken broth.

Stir until heated through and desired consistency, about 5 minutes.

Adjust seasonings if necessary.

Serve immediately with Cheddar cheese sprinkled over top.
