Getting my kids to eat their veggies can be really challenging and time is usually at a premium when it comes to meal prep. The Instant Pot has been absolutely invaluable to my family for creating simple tasty meals fast. Amazingly my kids love this pea soup recipe that I put together. I’ve gone pretty heavy on the split peas which means this soup is more of a green mash which I am pretty sure is why they love it. Anyhow, I’m not going to question it; just going to count it as a dad win.

This #Bacon Split Pea #Soup cooked speedily in the #Instantpot will rock your socks off, especially when served with any type of bread. As a child I would have it with fresh pumpernickel.

My wife and I love Split Pea Soup. The weird thing is that I hate peas by themselves. I will systematically remove them from anything that has them. We took an old recipe that she has had for a while and converted it to the slow cooker.After a few tries and tweaks, we have worked out all the kinks and made a great soup. It is so good and it will thicken as time passes. It goes great with some rolls to dip into it. One of the best split pea soups that I have ever had. I am sure that this can be made into a vegan dish, by taking out the ham and replacing the chicken stock with vegetable. Worth the try.This is the prototypical slow cooker recipe. You just put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker, set the time, and forget about it for 8 hours. You can try to forget about it, but the smell will drive you crazy those 8 long hours. Be strong, the wait will be worth it.Enjoy!

Inspired by my grandmother who introduced me to this dish, I just added my own spin and now this is the favorite family recipe. Simple, easy and ready in 7 hours.

Great comfort food for using up Easter dinner leftovers

So creamy & delicious. Can easily be made vegan and never lose a bit of flavor. One of my favorite foods.

A family favorite of ours. It is great soup for a cold day.

It is cold here so warm soup is great! This hearty, healthy, easy to make dinner was a huge hit amongst my family of picky eaters! I thought I would share, hope those who try it enjoy it as much as we did! Please share your pix and tips!! :-)

Better than can soup from the store. And better for you. Hubby and I love this. Great with crackers or homemade cornbread.

A favorite growing up... If you have a ham bone handy, throw it in, although I usually just use chopped ham...

Best split pea soup I've ever had. Been making this recipe since the 90s. I've used lentils instead of split peas, I use either butter or olive oil, I've thrown in a turkey leg, I've thrown in a smoked turkey leg, but i think it tastes best meatless.
