Split Pea Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 2 stalks Celery chopped
  • 2 Carrots chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 Ham hocks
  • 1 lb Dried Split Peas rinsed and picked thru
  • 6 cups Chicken Stock
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Chop all vegetables.  Mince the garlic with the salt,  Heat instant pot on high saute until "hot".  Add oil and onions, celery, carrots and garlic.  Saute for 3-4 minutes.
    Cut the skin or fat at couple of locations on the ham hocks, this will make it easier for the flavor to get into the soup.  Add the ham hock, dried split peas and stock. Set to high pressure for 8 minutes.  Natural release for 8 minutes.  Stir.  The peas should have softened and thickened the stock.  Remove ham hocks,  Pick the ham from the bone and chop if necessary.  Add meat back to soup.  Taste and add fresh ground pepper.  Adjust seasoning if necessary.
