I made the most delicious pea soup in my electric pressure cooker today!
You need minimal ingredients, it doesn't take hours and it's super budget friendly too which is a bonus.
Ingredients:
- 2 carrots peeled + diced
- 2 potatoes peeled + diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder (or 1 diced onion)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 TBS olive oil
- 1 TBS veg stock powder
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups dried split peas - rinsed
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- salt to taste
Instructions:
- Sauté the carrots and potatoes with the spices and oil
- Add the split peas and the water
- Add the veg stock powder and stir
- Add half the can off tomatoes
- Put the pressure cooker onto manual setting and cook for 20 minutes
- Let the pressure release in its own time
- Taste to make sure carrot, potatoes and peas are cooked
- If yes, stir through the rest of the tomato can and serve
- You can have it on its own but I would recommend having it with some fresh bread / toast
Notes:
- The pressure cooker I have is from Russell Hobbs
- If you don't have a pressure cooker you can do this on the stove top too, no problem, it may just take a little longer
- If you have kids that are fussy about food textures you can blend it before serving
