Instructions
- Turn on your instant pot. Press the SAUTE button and pour in oil. Add finely chopped onion, carrot and diced ham. Saute for 5 minutes. Turn off the SAUTE function.
- Pour in stock, water and add split peas and mustard. Close the lid and lock it into its position. Turn the steam valve to SEALING. Press MANUAL (high pressure cooking) and adjust time to 14 minutes.
- When the pressure cooking is finished, wait 5 minutes before you release the pressure manually. Taste and season with salt (if needed) and pepper.
- Serve warm topped with pancetta, croutons, Parmesan, parsley, sour cream ....
Notes
- This recipe was developed in a 6-quart/6-liter instant pot.
- The overall time does not include time needed for the pot to come to its pressure (for this recipe count with about 10 minutes) nor the time needed to release its pressure (5 or more minutes).
- Oil - I used olive oil but sunflower, vegetable oil or real butter (unsalted) are also fine to use.
- Ham can be substituted with ribs, pancetta, bacon, ham bone, .…
- Make sure to season the soup at the very end as every stock has a different sodium level. If you add salt at the beginning, you might end up with soup that is way too salty.
- Cooked ham or fried pancetta can be stirred into the soup after it’s been cooked.
