Instant Pot Best Split Pea Soup

[@danielmoore716]

How this guy doesn’t have a million plus subscribers is beyond me. I’ve never made a recipe from him that I didn’t like. Such a personable guy and the editing is on point. You can tell that he truly loves doing this!

[@OscarChavez-kt6or]

100% agree. This guy is my go to when I feel like busting out the instant pot, and this recipe in particular is a staple in my house. With a slice of toasted sourdough bread it's magnificent!

[@sl3966]

It's probably due to little details like cook the bacon first and then cook the veg in the bacon fat to build flavor, I know he says he doesn't want to overcook the bacon but that's easy to avoid.

[@xoxlsvchika13xox]

Ditto. I had a very limited pressure cooker list of recipes. Until him. I legit made three of his recipes back to back. And they all came out sooooo goooood. My boyfriend calls me a food critic because I always have a lot to say about what I’m eating and I refuse to eat anything I cook that I don’t like. And it used to be frustrating trying new recipes until this guy.

[@sarahbell7332]

This looks so good! I love split pea soup! Reminds me of my sweet Grandmother, she used to sometimes make this soup with some cajun andouille sausage (we’re from Louisiana). Can’t wait to try and thank you for sharing!

[@steveysimmons13579]

Sadly, too many homophobes just hate him. Keep going PYL, we love you just the way you are...

[@contenderbp]

I’m going to make this right now!

[@earthpet]

I've tried this recipe without butter, bacon, and Boursin and it is STILL great! My favorite split pea soup recipe. The sherry nails it.

[@Sui2807]

My mum used to make this for me throughout my entire life, especially in the winter. She passed away a couple of years ago now, and her cooking is one of the biggest things I miss about her. But pea soup, it was just special. She made it with yellow split peas though, and because I don't eat ham(I just don't like it for some reason), she substituted it with lamb. I'm going to have to give this recipe a try and see how it compares to hers. I never got her recipe from her though, although I may be able to get a copy of it. It's cooling down quite a bit here in Melbourne now, so in the next couple of weeks, I think I'll give it a go! This, and a braised steak and onion. Nom!

[@moonbear5929]

Lamb pea soup, interesting.

[@trainier]

I was a fully grown adult before I gave this soup a try. I absolutely love it and so do the kids! After growing a liking for it, I tried it in several restaurants and it was just as you described - runny flavorless soup with split peas floating around that were not tender or tasty at all. Get yourself a ham shank for a nice ham dinner sometime. Slow-cook the shank for 24 hours and pour through a colander to collect the stock. Get some ham or bacon and chop it up and follow this recipe. You will not regret it.

[@johnhatton3351]

Right on...I do something very similar...flavor bombs away!!!

[@ghostshellakira]

Just made this recipe.....Amazing!!!!! I left out the Sherry wine and the cream at the end of the video and it still was to die for. Lots of flavor and delicious! I've made lots of split pea recipes over the years and this is by far the best and easiest so far.

[@kimgilreath3989]

I love split pea soup! I don’t make it very often because of the time it takes to make it. And no one seams to appreciate it! So I tried your recipe!!!! Wow! I loved it! My husband who hates split pea soup is now begging me to make it again! Thank you so much for an awesome recipe. I used cream cheese and herbed butter at the end.

[@Jerry-rf8bn]

This is the look and consistency I expect to see in a good split pea soup. I will have to give this recipe a try but, I'll use diced ham instead of the bacon. Also, I like to spread the dry peas on a sheet pan prior to adding them to the pot. and check for any "clinkers" (small pebbles, odd colored peas, and/or twigs) that may have found their way into the peas. Then, I give the peas a quick rinse in tap water. Thanks very much for your fine presentation.

[@gnikmi]

I have to tell ya, this was amazing !! I just want to make over and over and over again.

[@chrisc9615]

This is the best pea soup I have ever had. Rich in flavor and so yummy.

[@ivonneleaty8501]

Made the pea soup today august 4th in my instant pot delicious. Love following your your recipe on instant pot are perfection. Thank you!!!!

[@knappjs]

I made this tonight. Didn't have worch so I subbed a tblsp bourbon. Chunked & skinned a couple left over baked potatoes. Used 1/4 cup dry Sherry, 1/4 cup Madeira. Thick cut hickory bacon. Was fantastic! Thanks Jeff!

[@hislamb4528]

This soup was delicious! Due to what was what I had on hand: I didn’t use sherry I also used better than bouillon ham broth plus a half cup extra to replace the sherry. Instead of the raw bacon , I used two huge handfuls of already cooked Bacon crumbled and cooked it for about five minutes instead of ten. This recipe is a keeper! My husband even wants the leftovers for breakfast, so do I!!! Yay! Thanks for going out of your way and doing these recipes!😃

[@bonnjill]

My mother has made split pea soup that everyone raves about for years. She uses a ham bone and takes it out to cut off the meat. She then adds a cup of fresh peas and 10 oz of spinach for a few minutes before blending it with the immersion blender. It also uses cream instead of Boursin. You've given me ideas on how to adapt this wonderful recipe to use in the pressure cooker. Thank you!

[@maryjoherrick6823]

I just made it tonight with my Christmas left over ham and just used Better than Boullion Roasted Chicken and cream cheese instead of Boursin. It turned out fabulous! Keep them coming!

[@moonbear5929]

If you want a more mild flavor if you don't like green peas, use yellow split peas. French Canadian style.

[@richard425]

Made this yesterday. Turned out nice. I didn’t use bacon rather country ham slices with bone. When making this again I’d use more carrots, I like seeing the orange within the green. Also loose the herbs. The beauty of split beans are their general sweetness. Adding the herbs makes the soup aromatic and looses the gentle sweet flavor of the peas. Sometimes less is more. Love his channel... my go to for recipes. ❤️

[@One-eyedFats]

Wow, by far the beat pea soup I've ever made! I can't thank you enough.

[@jonathankleid4069]

Made this soup two nights ago. It’s absolutely fantastic and a real winner! Thanks again Jeffery.

[@just_ducky_acres7561]

Yummy; awesome chef. We always add cubed potatoes to the mix. Thanks

[@carolsze6559]

This is great! I have leftover ham bone from Easter and glad I saved it. Now I will try your recipe! Thank you!

[@hrios3016]

Watching this is making me hungry looks delicious!! I always buy the can soup but never again!!

[@sylviaredmond4668]

Split pea is my absolute favorite! Thanks for doing this. I can’t wait to get your cookbook.

[@edwinnegron7761]

I have to tell you, made this soup today and it came out AWESOME!!!! Thank you very much for the assist.

[@cherierobinson8713]

Wow! Thank you- you are awesome to show us how to make this. I’m new to instant pot!

[@Echoplex420]

I use this recipe every time !! Seriously the best 👍 thank you so much for sharing

[@lindab.2730]

Just had a bowl of this. It was so so good!! Great flavor, it was a tad thick but was easy remedied with a little more broth. This is for sure a keeper!!👍

[@borntobewild7043]

I Just keep adding little water to my bowl when your ready to eat the pea soup Microwave 45 seconds, It won't be so heavy. Have a great day, Stay safe

[@tomdelaney19464]

My mother used to make split pea after every bone-in ham meal and when I searched for this recipe I went to your channel 1st and stopped. No need to search elsewhere! You have not let me down yet!!!!! Thank you heading out to the supermarket to get some split pea

[@callegra1]

Watched it, made it, loved it! Another winner thank you.

[@genepark6923]

Alternatives. 6-8 cups water or chicken stock in the IP. Add a ham hock or shank. Mirepoix (diced carrots, celery and onions). Crush coarsely 12-24 peppercorns with a heavy pan. 2-3 bay leaves, 6 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon thyme. IP high pressure for 20 minutes. Quick release and remove the ham to a cutting board to cool. Add 1 pound rinsed split peas and IP on high pressure for 8 minutes. Slow release 10 minutes. Meanwhile, debone the hock or shank and mince. Open the IP, add the ham. Stir the soup well or purée with an immersion blender. Adjust for salt if needed. Store the soup in a sealable container. When chilled the soup will be very dense. To reheat add some water to a saucepan and spoon in the desired amount of soup and bring to a full simmer. The chilled soup will have the same consistency as the famous cans of condensed soup. Also if needed, portion the soup in serving size freezer containers. The soup keeps well in the fridge for at least a week. Split pea or Erwontensoep is a national Dutch soup especially enjoyed during the winter. This is a very hearty high calorie soup. Each household will have variations on a theme. After a day skating on the grachts, pea soup will warm you along with a few oude Geneva to end a perfect day.

[@high5626]

Gene Park Thanks for the alternative suggestions.

[@masonryjoe]

Tried this today very good recipe ! Cheers !

[@margo6663]

Made this Saturday night for dinner.......wonderful. So much flavor.

[@georgecherbonneau1793]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Best ever. Thank you for another awesome recipe.

[@davidjeannieintexas7816]

OMG, I can't wait to try this soup! Sounds wonderful! Thank you for another great recipe. Happy New Year, to everyone!

[@vegmeout69]

Made this yesterday. So good. Best I ever made. Thank you.

[@cggl5043]

OMG!!! This is sooooo good!! Thank you very much for sharing your recipe! 😀

[@joshenyou360]

WHOA!!! now that is split pea soup. I am making it today and was looking for Instant Pot recipes and came across yours. I stopped in my tracks and decided this was the recipe. I am however a bit nervous about the sherry wine but I am an adventurous person and will give it a go. Thanks loads and now you have a new subscriber :-)

[@WarchildWarchild-gh8lr]

Just found this yesterday and decided to try it. I have been a split pea soup fan all my life and have tried it where ever it was sold, to include famous pea soup establishments such as Andersons Split Pea Soup in California. I have to say this is by far the best split pea soup I have ever tasted. Seems like a very simple recipe and it is but thats all you need.

[@alexanderk.3177]

Aahh! Good --- very good delivery! You are such a character, dear Jeffrey!

[@dtcrooner1]

Jeff, I followed your recipe almost to the letter. I made it for a friend who had been asking for split pea soup. It turned out perfectly. That will be my go to for split pea soup. Thanks!

[@sheteg1]

The thing I like about your videos is that you get to the point. Laura Vitale is the same way. I’m surprised you don’t have million followers. Push it, next time you’re on Rachel Rays show.

[@aswanson42]

Love the addition of bacon, but nothing will replace the hambone. All the calcium, gelatin and minerals from the bone fortify the nutritional value of the soup. I could skip the Boursin, although it’s a wonderful thing. Thanks, Jeffrey, will definitely try this.

[@katr7969]

I use ham hocks and I agree but this looks really good. This would be a good alternative if you didn't have a ham bone or the store was out of hocks. That has happened to me before.

[@ellenhofer3343]

aswanson42 burbon adds wonderful flavor & alcohol burns off.

[@lindaschneider4904]

So delicious, even missing two of the ingredients. Thank you. Finally, a great recipe.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Interesting combinations. I like the addition of the Boursin. I think I might sauté the bacon then remove and then sauté the veggies in the bacon drippings omitting the butter.

[@NychelleStephens]

Looks wonderful, your take on this classic is 👌

[@karenughoc2849]

I just made this I did not use sherry also use ham steak and cream cheese this is one of the best split pea soup I have ever had. split pea is also my favorite soup. Thank you so much for making this

[@geemoe3064]

This is the recipe i keep coming back too.l use a hock and the bacon. You can never have too much bacon or country ham! Thank you Jeffery

[@craftlover9702]

OMG Jeff it looks AMAZING!!!! Definitely going to make!

[@manny-perez]

Wonderful recipe, like everything else you do. You are wonderful!

[@elayned6147]

[@libbyhardel1826]

I'm not sure what sort of split pea soup Jeff has been eating but my grandma's was so amazing that this has remained my favourite soup all my life. I'm making this recipe today and I'm so excited!

[@PressureLuck]

Enjoy it!

[@brianmoore5752]

Jeffrey, just tried this in my instant pot. It tastes great. And your right, don't omit the boursin. Thanks.

[@adet3902]

I got an instantpot for Christmas bc I told my mom I love your videos! I cant wait to start using it and following your recipes- keep up the great work!!

[@BlessedtobeMimi]

[@ckkmanltj]

I tried this recipe tonight, and it was delicious. Thank you!

[@cowboyup545]

UPDATE: Made this Soup exactly like you did it was outstanding, Thanks enjoyed very much.

[@corinneposluszny1513]

Thank you for this recipe! I used a ham steak from the freezer and onion "better yhan boullion", no sherry and the soup came out wonderful. We did not even add the cheese it was so good with fresh baked bread. Looking forward to buying your cook book. Once again, thank you!

[@petemac7969]

Jeffrey, great video. Was going to ask for the recipe then I found your site. Great! Thanks.

[@harechick]

That looks SOOOOOOOOO yummy!!!

[@cowboyup545]

Man Please That looks great going to make this tomorrow Nice Video Friend. Happy New Year.

[@donnanagy]

Best split pea I’ve made yet and so easy! This recipe is right on. Give it a try. !

[@callmesceptical9114]

Followed recipe as prescribed…Excellent results! Yum

[@RobertSmith-gx3mi]

I bought peas last weekend and i've been hunting for a split pea soup recipe since then. Found it! Thank you

[@handieguy]

I made this tonight. Delicious.

[@randellrude6065]

Thanks for the recipe and video. Your work in video shows. I liked it enough that I bought the books.

[@sewnew1944]

Thank you for this recipe I have made your roast and it was the best o have ever had in my 78 years. So I am looking forward to this recipe Keep up the good work.

[@frenlynn]

Honestly, the BEST split pea soup I’ve ever had, and I’ve been a fan of this soup for a long time. But, what seals the deal, my mom said it was the best SHE has ever had, and she used to make it professionally! Thank You!!

[@steelwhisper9019]

My pea soup is never runny on the stove top, Its thick. I'm excited to see this video. Glad you did this! That's what pea soup should be.

[@billyjean3306]

Made this recipe and it came out great! Thanks for the delicious foods.

[@kylehiggins3216]

Going to try this one, for sure! My Polish Nana would serve over boiled potatoes, yum! I put hot sauce on mine, too! Thanks for a great recipe!

[@voz805]

A pea soup recipe I once used called for adding 1/3-1/2 cup of frozen peas after cooking to make the soup look even more delicious. They're brightly colored, not like the drab cafeteria pea soup Jeff mentioned.

[@anthonydenowski4051]

Jeffrey... That looks almost exactly how my mother used to make it. She is no longer with us, bless her heart. The only other thing she did different, was make homemade dumpling noodles to add to the soup.. Very hearty for the winter months. Keep up the great work on these videos and have a wonderful new year!!

[@juliannaburke7053]

Absolutely delicious!

[@bcfran3g844]

My late Mom used to make split pea soup with marrow bones or short ribs. She would brown them first then put them in the soup.

[@victorzamora3845]

Fast and delicious! I will make it again for shure.

[@michelleproctor4648]

I just got my Insta pot in the mail my daughters got me for my birthday February 8 and I’m going to make split pea soup😊

[@johnbell2100]

Jeff, I am a removed Long Islander and listening to you talk takes me back. Glad to hear yet another LI ander besides Billy Joel showing the talent from LI

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I think I'm making this tomorrow. I use the baby carrots and to thicken it I cook one decent sized potato, I pull it out after an hour and diced it like an onion and return it to the pot, the potato pretty much dissolves but now your soup is thicker. I usually simmer mine for hours. I'm excited to try it in the Instant Pot. I'm going to use the vegetable BTB tomorrow because that's what I have on hand besides beef and lobster. I'm hungry now!

[@heatherok7149]

I laughed so hard because you didn’t care for it but described it so wonderfully! Love your videos

[@suewilliams1145]

The best split pea soup we ever had! My husband was surprised that he didn’t need any hot sauce in it. He can’t believe beans can be done in the instant pot either.

[@chrisrobinson947]

I just made this today 11/15/20. I followed the directions exactly and it was great! I tasted it before adding the boursin, and after. Before, it definitely has the traditional split pea soup taste. After adding it, it mellows out the pea taste and adds a creamy texture and garlic flavor. The choice is yours, but either way is excellent. Perfect for football Sunday! Thank you!

[@MsNilba]

I made this today and I have to say it was AMAZING! Highly recommended!

[@maureenthefirst1]

Looks spectacular. I am going to make this tomorrow.

[@mjgmatx]

The split pea soup were grew up with was thick with chunky vegetables and chunks of ham. Delicious with cornbread

[@blueviolet7389]

Just made this with a leftover ham bone - it was amazing! This is my dad’s favorite soup and he loved it, had 2 bowls! I had regular (yellow?) split peas on hand and it came out a beautiful golden color in case anyone doesn’t like green - tasted just the same. I didn’t have any sherry, is that for deglazing or does it add something to the flavor? Thank you for a great recipe that went from taking all day to being done in an instant!

[@pattiray888]

Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious!! Couldn’t find the Better than Bouillon anywhere so just used chicken broth and cream cheese instead of the Boursin, which I also couldn’t find here, and everyone loved it. So glad I found this channel!

[@mrmoshpotato]

Amazing juices! 😋

[@karennesbitt9655]

Made this today; super delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.

[@RuToob]
