NINJA FOODI SPLIT PEA SOUP
My adaptation of the classic split pea soup, that is done in less than an hour. Filly and comforting!
Ingredients
- 1 lb split peas
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 2 carrots sliced
- 1 small onion diced (or half a large onion)
- 2-3 strips of bacon **Optional **1
- 1 large bay leaf or a few small ones

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp oil ** 2
- 2-3 cups of diced ham

Instructions
NINJA FOODI AND INSTANT POT DIRECTIONS:
-
Press saute on the Foodi .
-
If using the bacon, begin to saute now to render some of the fat into the pot. If NOT using the bacon, add the 1 tbsp of oil to the pot to heat.
-
When the bacon is rendered, add the celery and onion to saute in the fat. If not using the bacon then. . .
-
Add the celery, onions, and carrots to sauté if not using bacon, qbout 2-3 minutes.
-
Add broth, peas, and bay leaves.
-
Place the pressure lid on the pot and turn the toggle switch to "seal".
-
Set temperature to HIGH and set time for 15 minutes.
-
After cook time is up, do a natural release for 10 minutes. Then slowly release the remaining pressure in the pot.
-
Upon opening the lid, give the soup a good stir as a lot of the peas may have settled on the bottom.
-
Add ham into the pot and give it another stir, then remove the bay leaves.
-
Upon, serving drizzle some sour cream on top. Makes a lovely presentation.

- I omit the bacon most often than not
- Oil is needed only for sautéing the onions and celery if you don’t use the bacon.
