Whats In This Split Pea Soup with Pumpkin?
- Dried Split Peas: I always keep dried split peas on hand in my cupboard, they are great for making pea soups, throwing a handful into stews or making some split pea patties.
- Canned Pumpkin – make sure you get unsweetened plain pumpkin puree, and not baking pumpkin pie mix.
- Carrots
- Celery
- Fresh garlic cloves
- Onion
- Sweet Potatoes
- Vegetable Stock
- 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.
- Bay Leaf: the other secret ingredient to this dish, the bay leaves are essential for a wonderful savory flavor when the soup cooks, it gives the pea soup it’s signature taste.
- Salt and Pepper to taste
How Do I Make This Vegan Pumpkin 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.

Delicious, but the recipe ingredients list doesn’t include sweet potatoes, but the instant pot instructions say to cook til the potstoes are cooked through. I made without the sweet potatoes, and it was wonderful.
This as delicious, I made it in the instant pot, which dump and cook is the kind of cook I am!! The only question I have is, in the instant pot instructions, it says the potatoes should fall apart, but thete is no potstoes in the ingredient list. But regardless, I love the addition of the pumpkin to this soup! Thank you!
