Split Pea Soup with Kale is one of my absolute favorite soups to make, and a fantastic way to get those greens into your diet! I always keep some dried split peas in my cupboard, as they are really cost efficient and go a long way.  A pound of split peas is less than $1 and can make about 8 servings of soup, so when I am cooking for the week, this is one of my affordable meal prep recipes.

This is a hearty kale split pea soup that is great for enjoying by the fire (or log-burning DVD if you don’t have a fireplace). It’s filling, delicious, and meat free!  Make this pea soup recipe without meat for a vegetarian lunch or dinner you’ll love.

How Do I Make This Kale Split Pea Soup Recipe?

  • Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker Instructions

    Add all ingredients except the kale to the Instant Pot, stir to combine. Cook on Manual/High Pressure for 15 minutes. When finished cooking allow the instant pot to naturally release for 20 minutes (do not manual release). After 20 minutes, release the remainder of the steam carefully.  Stir in the kale, and allow soup to sit in the hot Instant Pot for 10 minutes. Soup is finished when potatoes fall apart slightly and peas dissolve.  Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

    Stove Top Instructions

    Add all ingredients except the kale 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 in the kale during the last 15 minutes of cooking time. Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

    Slow Cooker Instructions

    Add all ingredients except the kale to the Slow Cooker or Crock Pot, stir to combine. Cook On High for 6 hours, or Low on 8 hours. Potatoes and peas should be cooked all the way through. A half hour before the soup is finished, stir in the chopped kale and allow it to cook in the soup.  Stir, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
