Bacon Split Pea Soup (Instant Pot)

#soups

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.

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!

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!! :-)

Split Pea Soup from the Colonial Era.

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

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

Great comfort food for using up Easter dinner leftovers

This soup will warm you to the bones on cold and wet winter days. Set it to start cooking in the morning before leaving the house, and come home to a delicious meal that will satisfy even the biggest appetites.

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.

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

this is my version of split pea soup.

I've tried a few variations of split pea soup. This one has more flavor than most and is very filling. My family loves it!

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

A friend asked me to make her some Pea Soup with Ham. If she wants me to make something for her ( she works seven days a week taking care of people) , she provides most of the food items, I provide some and she will share with us.

We have been making pea soup in my family my entire life, but everyone else just used the peas and water. I like flavor and this soup has it for sure! Very hardy.

So... we ate this Christmas ham and there was a lot of meat leftover. I couldn’t bare to watch it get thrown away so I took it home. Could have just made some ham and cheese sandwiches or ham and potato salad but there was a bag of split peas screaming to be cooked. Now... feel free to substitute any of the vegetables... they’re basically going to be disintegrated anyway. I used what I had on hand.

This is a very plain and very cheap soup recipe. The idea is that you can add whatever you have to make it better.

Split pea soup always reminds me of my mom's cooking. I wish I could make it as good as she can but this is my spin on her soup. Very thick soup.

This is a hearty, delicious soup that doesn’t require any babysitting once you get it into the slow cooker. This was the perfect soup to make during a recent cold snap. The dense and creamy texture of this soup is so perfect at warming you up!Most split pea soups require a ham hock or chopped ham to enhance the meaty flavor. I don’t eat ham very often, so I don’t normally have a ham hock available. Polish kielbasa is easy to obtain, and it provides a nice meaty flavor.🌟NOTE: You will need a slow cooker with at least a 6 quart capacity. Otherwise, you will need a large pot with a lid, and the cooking time will be reduced to 2 to 3 hours.#Winter #Veggies #Crockpot #ComfortFood

This #soup is ideal to get ready early morning for later in the day or for the following day its even better, a lot thicker. It originated in Ireland and favoured by the Liverpool people, i believe who named it ' peawak ' it was my grandmother who taught me.

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.

Great on a cold night!
