Instant Pot Split Pea Soup
I love the Instant Pot; such a great tool to have in the kitchen. If you arenβt familiar, an Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that tenderizes meat, cooks soup, and other foods at rapid speed. Iβve since ditched my slow cooker because I literally use my Instant Pot and have food β¦ well, in an instant.
Taking it back, old school Whole30βers will know that peas were originally not compatible with Whole30 until recently. In March of 2020, peas became compatible. If youβre interested in learning more you can read the Whole30 article here that explains the reason and science behind the change. Clearly, I was excited about the change and have started incorporating peas during Whole30. This Whole30 Instant Pot Split Pea Soup is the perfect way to introduce peas into your routine.
This recipe is incredibly easy and is perfect for any night of the week where you want a healthy, quick meal. This recipe was featured on one of my Whole30 Recipes takeovers. Literally throw everything into the Instant Pot and let it do its thing. The end result is a thick, rich split pea soup that youβll want to make again and again.
