hey guys retired at 40 I've got a real quick throw together instant pot recipe
for you today we're doing split pea soup it's only got nine ingredients takes
five minutes to put it all together and it's done twenty minutes later
so soups are a great thing with the cold weather being around there's only nine
ingredients in this recipe you can throw it together real quick it makes a real
fast dinner it's a real filling dinner a real healthy and nutritional all you
need is some olive oil some vegetable stock some garlic powder some salt a
little bit of ham some split peas carrots celery onions and of course your
trusty instant pot before we get started take a moment to subscribe to
the channel if you've never been here before we do some cooking some gardening
some self-sustained living some food preservation and you get to journey with
me and my family on our retirement at the age of 40 all right our first step
we're going to do two tablespoons of olive oil and just put that right in the
instant pot and then we're going to turn the instant pot on to saute and get it
nice and warm before we throw our onions and ham in alright next we need a cup of
ham and I'm actually using freeze-dried ham because I like to do a lot of freeze
drying so I'm gonna let this sit in some water while I'm cutting up half up an
onion
our instant pot says hot I'm gonna go into the instant pot with the onions
we're gonna throw that ham in and we're just gonna leave this in for a couple
minutes just to add a little bit more flavor now we're gonna add 40 ounces or
5 cups of vegetable stock we need two stalks of celery and two carrots diced
we're gonna add the carrots and the celery and then we need one teaspoon of
garlic powder and then one to one-and-a-half teaspoons of salt and you
can't wait to add the salt at the end if you prefer I just put it in now and that
way it's all done and this wouldn't be split pea soup if you didn't add split
peas so go with 2 cups of raw split peas and use the uncooked raw split peas give
that a little stir we're gonna put our lid on make sure your valve is closed
all right now we're gonna do manual pressure on high for 17 minutes and
we'll see you then got about five minutes left on this and
I'll tell you what goes great with this is some
garlic bread so with five minutes left is a great time to throw in some garlic
bread to go with it all right we're on our last minute if you want this to be a
little bit thicker you can actually let's let it sit for a few more minutes
and it will thicken up as it sits we can do a quick release on this you don't
need to let it natural release and then you just give it a stir and it should be
ready to serve
all right it's looking good and it smells really good like I said if you
want to thicken this up a little bit just let it sit for a little bit it's
pretty hard to beat this for less than half an hour of total cook time and prep
time all right I'm gonna have myself a bowl of piping hot split pea soup if you
