Easy Instant Pot Split Pea Soup (with Leftover Chicken Breast!)
– Anonymous
What's best is that it's made in an Instant Pot that cuts the time it takes to make it in more than half! And easily cooks peas all the way through without having to spend hours simmering them!
Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, add (diced onion, optional) carrots and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Then add shredded leftover large chicken breast and sauté for another minute or so.
Next, sprinkle all the dry seasonings: sea salt, black ground pepper, Mrs. Dash seasoning, and garlic powder, and sauté for an additional minute constantly stirring the mixture.
Finally, add 8 cups of cold water, chopped potatoes, carrots, rinsed yellow split peas, 3 to 4 small bay leaves, and 1 tbsp. of chicken bouillon paste into the instant pot.
