Instant Pot Split Pea Soup Recipe

This Instant Pot split pea soup recipe with ham is so easy to make! Throw it in your pressure cooker for 17 minutes and it’s the perfect healthy soup made with dried peas No soaking required beforehand. Homemade split pea soup in less than 20 minutes flat.

instant pot split pea soup recipe 2

This was the first time I made this Instant Pot split pea soup recipe. I couldn’t believe how perfect it came out! It’s one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes when it is cool outside! (originally published 4/17)

We don’t always have time to make a home cooked meal, that is why I’m a bit obsessed with the Instant Pot I have.

I used the basic ingredients in my crockpot split pea soup. Of course it was adjusted since I was making this in my pressure cooker. I’ve used my Ninja Foodi too.

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

  • Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
  • Then LIKE our IP Facebook page for new ideas daily.
    • This is a great InstaPot cookbook and set of wooden utensils are great to grab too.
    • I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

star wars instant pot

It took all day before but knew it would be closer to 15 minutes this time so I started there. Felt it needed a few more minutes, and 17 was just perfect for the split peas to be smooth and the carrots and celery to be tender.

Most of our favorites take only 3-5 minutes to cook like the Instant Pot chili mac we make regularly.

Pressure cooker split pea soup

  • Green Split peas – dry
  • Vegetable stock – so much better than water, could use chicken broth instead
  • Onion, dice or add larger slices
sliced onions
  • Celery
  • Ham – could throw in a ham hock, chopped ham steak or this is one of our favorite leftover ham recipes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • If you want to add a bay leaves you could, just remember to remove when done
Can you cook dried peas in a pressure cooker?

Most definitely. I have made homemade pressure cooker ham and bean soup as well. NO soaking beforehand is required which means you can have a quick one pot meal in no time.

Do I need to soak beans before pressure cooking?

No, but you can if you really feel you must. I provide this Instant Pot bean cooking times printable sheet for you here. Then you can determine how long each one will take.

I like to salt when it’s done because many times I don’t need any (salt in the ham and broth is plenty).

Split Pea Soup Instant Pot

  1. Using leftover ham is great, or make our Instant Pot ham recipe first and use that.

Here’s a quick rundown but we have a printable recipe below as well for you.

Time needed: 17 minutes.

Instant Pot Split Pea Soup

  1. Saute

    Put your Instant Pot on saute and add your olive oil, onions and precooked diced ham. If you’re using ham hocks then you wouldn’t add those now.

    Cook for a few minutes just so onions soften and ham juices come out a bit and add flavor to the rest of your soup. Turn pot off.

    Add dried split peas and all other ingredients. Stir well so salt dissolves (can wait and add salt at end if preferred). 

  2. Cook

    Put your lid on and close valve to sealing position.  Set to manual, pressure, high for 17 minutes cooking time.  Allow to naturally release the steam for 5 minutes, quickly release remaining steam.

    Stir and serve. The longer it sits the thicker it will become. Top with cheese if desired. Add more broth to thin it out the next day.

So quick and easy! If you want to make this same meal but have it cook all day use the directions for our crockpot split pea soup.

easy split pea soup

If you want to reduce the salt that is fine too. I don’t like highly seasoned foods and 1 1/2 tsp was perfect for us. I tend to season when it’s done.

Instant Pot split pea soup

With a side of bread it’s a complete meal and quite healthy too which I appreciate.

  • If you want to make this Instant Pot split pea soup into a freezer meal, here are the directions.
  • It is a cheap option to make for your family or share with another who may be having a hard time and need a comfort meal dropped off.

    I make this soup at least once a month, I don’t really like vegetable broth so I use low sodium chicken broth, I just love this soup I eat it all by myself.

    I’ve been making this recipe a couple times a year for a couple years now and always for a group of friends that happen to love split pea soup! This is a gold star recipe!
    I remove a lot of the ham off the bone and chop it up to add to the soup after it’s done. I also add a couple bay leaves and a few potatoes to the instant pot only because I prefer them in my soups.
    I also take a couple cups of soup out after the release and blend it to make the soup super thick and smooth. I like it when my spoon stands straight up!!! Once it goes in the fridge, I will reheat it with some extra water to loosen it just a bit.
    It also goes great with garlic cheesy bread!
    Since I have the ham bone from Easter in the freezer, its time to make it tonight!
    Can’t wait!

    1,595 mg of sodium in one serving? Holy moly! You should keep sodium at 1,500 mg per day. It must be the ham, ‘ey?

      It is approximate and the recipe card calculates that so I don’t know how accurate it is. I am sure it is the ham yes.

    Hello,
    I’m left with questions regarding any split pea recipes since the Instant Pot company warns us not to use split peas because it can foam, froth, sputter, and clog the steam release or even cause burns.
    The soup seems tasty.

      I have made similar split pea soup many times and the cover is always clean with condensation only. I use a traditional recipe with salt beef instead of ham with no added oil. Never had a problem.

    I made a few changes. I used chicken broth and added diced potatoes as well. I added a bit more broth afterwards as well as I found it to be too thick. Pea soup naturally thickens when it is refrigerated. I will definitely make it again.

    Have been making split pea soup for years using yellow peas. Decided to try this even though I did not have much hope that the peas would actually be smooth nor did Inthink the flavor would be as good. How wrong I was! This is exactly like the soup I’ve been making. No more soaking the peas! Only change I made was 18 min instead of 17.

      Years ago I discovered that along with the veggies listed, adding a about 2-4 Tbsp of Cashew butter in place of the ham & a bay leaf or two makes such a wonderful tasting soup, you don’t need the ham. Sometimes I also add a teaspoon or so of liquid smoke, which is a nice option. No need for ham!
      I’m new to the instant pot world & loving it. I plan to try the split pea soup with the cashew butter today, I expect it might even be better (although I used to think it not possible).

    SO EASY AND SO QUICK
    I just made this with some tweaks: Half the peas, water, granulated garlic powder, carrots. No celery, no onion, no salt and used a large leftover ham bone. Also added 8 peppercorns. Same timing (using the soup button on my Ambiano brand cooker) and slow release for a minute before complete release.
    IT IS FANTASTIC!!
    I will be taking the meat off the bone and adding but now wish I’d done a whole batch. It’s a perfect consistency.
    Why did I change so much? I can’t have onion, must watch salt intake, no celery in the house. Pepper adds a little depth of flavor (taking the onions place). And I’m only 1 person.
    Well worth the experiment – thank you for providing such a great guide!

    I made this following your recipe exactly, it started to burn, so I released the steam. It had boiled dry and the peas were only half cooked. I added 4 cups of water, cooked it for another 17 minutes and released the steam manually, I was afraid it would start burning again. This time it was perfect and it was good, my husband loved it. The steam valve was closed so that wasn’t the problem, any idea why it boiled dry the first time?

    Thanks for sharing your recipe, I made it for supper tonight & it was so good!! I used my ham bone along with water, celery, carrots, onion & peppercorns to make a broth this morning, then chilled it to separate the fat. Kept the ham to use in the soup & discarded the rest of the stuff.
    Used this broth in place of the vegetable stock & it was so flavourful! Definitely a keeper recipe. 🙂

    Good soup, I would cook for a little less time. I like mine with some if the split peas still in the soup

    Just as good, if not better, than any split pea soup I’ve made that takes hours and multiple pans. We didn’t add salt, and we felt it didn’t need any. No cheese either, since we always top split pea soup with sherry.

    Our soup was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe. We used 1/2 homemade chicken broth and 1/2 water to make the 40 ozs.! We will make it again! Super easy!

    I made this recipe today! It tasted awesome! The ham and bone that I used was frozen so I added 10 minutes to the cook time. I baked a crusty French bread to serve with it. Everyone loved it. I haven’t had a bad recipe come out of my IP yet. I’ll be remaking this recipe for sure.

    Just tried this recipe for the first time! This is excellent! Great flavor! I did add oregano to it but this was the easiest split pea soup I’ve ever made. Mine normally simmers for hours not minutes. Thank you, will be my go to recipe for pea soup from now on… EASY and good!

    Awesome recipe. I have made this several times and family loved it. Thank you very much for posting it. I have the 8qt Instant Pot and would like to double the recipe. Would you happen to know if I need to increase the pressure cooking time beyond 17 min if recipe doubled?

      I made this in my 8qt. Did 2 bags of peas, 10 cups of water (didn’t have broth!) it was perfect! Set my pot to the “soup/stew” setting but bumped it up to 20 min. Perfection.

    Hello! You listed 1 1/2 tsp of salt in the ingredients but later mentioned 1 Tbsp. Which did you use?
    Thanks!

    Justine,

    The recipe is perfect! A definite keeper.

    I followed the recipe exactly except I didn’t add any salt due to using vegetable Better Than Bouillon soup base.

    Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe that was reminiscent of my dad’s pea soup.

    If using a ham hock, would you cook that for a little while before adding the other ingredients?

        I used a ham hock, I added it just after the onions and gave it a little stir. Added the rest of the ingredient and set to pressure. It was so yummy

    • Emma Sue says

      11/07/2017 at 6:48 pm

      I pressure cook my ham hock making some broth a day ahead. Once cooled off, remove meat off the bone. I clean as much fat from meat as possible because I still have all the flavor from pressure cooking. After it cools completely, in fridge, I take off all the fat. I will add the meat back into the broth and other ingredients, to make this amazing soup The Typical Mom has provided for us! Cheers to Instant Pot!

        I just made this recipe and changed it up a bit by adapting one of my own split pea soup recipes.I omitted the ham and kept your recipe the same but added cloves of garlic, marjoram, basil, cumin, pepper and a dash of hot sauce.

        It is to die for.Thanx

    Bought instant pot today…found this pea soup recipe..looks yummy.
    There is a warning about split peas but I am hoping it doesn’t apply to the recipe.
    What size instant pot do you use? Would I adjust ingredients for the 6 quart size?

    I have a slow cooker recipe for split pea soup and you add milk at the to to thicken it up and make it creamer. Do you think that would work with this recipe too?

    The “total time” you have listed seems off to me. Chopping, sautéing, getting to pressure, cooking 17 minutes, AND slow release? Granted, I am slow at cooking, but my time was closer to an hour!

      Cooking time listed is time you set pressure cooker to.

        Slow release is natural pressure release, right? How long does that take? 30 more minutes or so at least?

      • The Typical Mom says

        07/24/2017 at 5:10 pm

        Sorry, I say slow release meaning just move the valve just slightly so steam releases slowly. Natural release would be fine for this one too though.
