I like split pea soup. It’s one of those soups that is so satisfying during the winter months. It’s easy to make too, especially if you have an Instant Pot cooker.

    I just purchased on last month. I love this pea soup recipe and you make it look so easy to do! Thanks so much. By the way, I purchased this appliance but the name is GOURMIA. Think I got if for around $60. Same thing!

    Two Christmasses ago I gave an Instant Pot to my daughter-in-law, as well as one to my best friend. I waited, and waited, and waited for one of them to tell me how they liked it and to share with me some recipes. Never happened. Finally, out of frustration, I bought one for myself. Actually cooking something in it waited until last week. Mind, this started Christmas of 2017 and now it is late January, 2019. So in looking for something to do with it, I ran across 2 bags of green split peas. Neither of the Instant Pot cookbooks address split pea soup, so I went on YouTube and your site jumped out at me, especially since I had been impressed with a recipe from your site last year and had donated. So thanks for this recipe. I look forward to having delicious split pea soup very soon. BTW – Last year I donated. Tried to this year but your site doesn't believe where I live or my Zip Code, so I was not able to do so.

    Ha ha. I just got my mini IP two days ago and was enjoying a nice bowl of split pea 'n ham soup (made in my new IP!) while watching this video. Sooo good. Nothing like a comforting bowl of soup. Thanks! Btw, I put potatoes in mine. I'm a chunky soup kinda gal. Yum!

    Great job for a newbie! You really caught on quickly. Here’s a couple helpful hints to help you along the way. Set pot to sauté and wait for hot indicator to come on before adding oil. I usually swirl oil over bottom of pan before adding veggies. No real need to heat stock separately on stove. I add my homemade stock right out of the fridge. If you’ve got discoloration on bottom of pan from cooking beans, peas, or much of anything after washing pot put an inch or so of water in bottom and a few tablespoons of vinegar and let sit for awhile. Poor out vinegar and give pot a quick washing and drying and your pot will look like new. I love my IP.

    Dennis, A very good demonstration. Split pea soup is one of my favorites and it is very economical. If any of you watching have not visited the mobile home gourmet website I encourage you to do so. There is a wealth of information there.👍

    I'd be naughty and put some fresh or sour cream in there. You could also fry off a little curry powder before you start sweating your mirepoix ingredients, but that's better in pumpkin soup.

    Yet another delicious recipe from you, Dennis.

    My mum always put Ham hog in her pea soup and it is such a treat. I still make it like mama used to make. Thank you for this lovely recipe. I just saw this Instant Pot on Amazon.uk but it is £ 134, I think it has to wait till next year.

    Looks great Dennis. I was gifted one of those a few months ago and really love it. Soups and stocks work really well in it. Nothing like a one pot hardly no mess meal and easy clean up also. I always enjoy your videos and the hard work you put into them really shows

    I’m delighted you have bought an Instant Pot, Denis. I recently got a great bargain on one too, and so far I absolutely love it. My main interest was in making yogurt. I have now made two batches of Greek yogurt, which was so good that I expect I will never need to buy yogurt again. I have also made a stew, a pasta dish, and a cheesecake (which turned out great). It also saves a lot of dishwashing! Of course there are things it does not do well, such as making things crisp. But I think it s a very valuable tool.

    You keep adding kitchen appliances/apparatus and you gonna need a white trash mobile home annex. :)) Great split pea soup recipe and a fine demonstration of the multifunctional "Instant Pot". More demos please. Thank you.

    Excellent video Dennis. I've been curious about the Instant pots since I've seen them advertised. Looks like quite a multipurpose device with numerous functions. I have several slow cookers and I like them and  use them a lot, but this looks much more versatile.  I also love to make split pea soup in the winter, especially if I happen to have a nice ham bone in the freezer I've been saving for soup.
