My favorite way to make our Pea Soup is in my Instant Pot.
Step 1: Rinse the peas and add them to the pot, place the recommended amount of water* in (8 cups.) *Broth is not necessary for any of our soups, because the seasoning packets provide enough flavor.
Step 2: Add the meat, recommended is a ham shank or meaty ham bone, I have used diced ham or even a ham steak. If making Vegan try substituting the meat for a sweet potato (Japanese or regular.) Then add the vegetables, carrots and potatoes are what is recommended 1 cup each diced.
Step 3: Choose either the Bean/Chili or Soup/Broth setting (Normal/High) and set the timer for 15 minutes. Seal the instant pot and let it do its job. When the timer goes off, let it NR (natural release) the pressure, and add the seasoning packet provided.
I love all of our soup mixes because they are great the way the recipe recommends, plus they are convenient to use with what you have already that you don't want to go to waste. Have fun while making them and it is OK to go outside the box :)
