I love a good soup on a chilly fall or winter day, and this soup is a fantastic way to get some extra vegetables in your diet. And what better way to enjoy a healthy lunch than with a piping hot bowl of soup?

In my Classic Vegan Split Pea Soup recipe I use white potatoes and barley – but I decided to try sweet potatoes instead in this version. And let me tell you, it turned out great! The sweet potatoes give the soup a delicious texture and really brighten the flavor. Plus the sweet potatoes provide a little extra nutrients to the soup, which is always a good thing!

Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt.

Paprika: I like to use a wonderful fragrant paprika with a rich deep color and flavor
Herbs de Provence: THE secret ingredient in this soup! Herbs de Provence is a really nice French blend of thyme, marjoram, savory, and lavender. The Herbs de Provence makes this soup out of this world good, and really wonderful flavored… I always keep a very large jar or Herbs de Provence in my pantry!

Instant Pot for the Easiest Meal Prep Split Pea Soup Ever!

For all my recipes I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, its larger than the standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Ultra model also has some great extra settings like cake baking and yogurt making which are really neat.

I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and actually makes my life so much easier.

How Do I Make This Vegan Gluten Free Whole30 Split Pea Soup?

Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker Instructions

Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot, stir to combine. Cook on Manual for 15 minutes. When finished cooking allow the instant pot to naturally release for 20 minutes (do not manual release). After 20 minutes, manually release the steam carefully. Soup is finished when potatoes fall apart slightly and peas become mushy. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

Stove Top Instructions

Add all ingredients to a large stock pot. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, and reduce heat to a slow simmer. Cook on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes or so to make sure peas don’t stick to the bottom of the pot and burn. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

Slow Cooker Instructions

Add all ingredients to the Slow Cooker or Crock Pot, stir to combine. Cook On High fo 6 hours, or Low on 8 hours. Potatoes and peas should be cooked all the way through. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
