Instant Pot Split Pea Soup for an Easy Dinner
I like to cook my pea soup in a pressure cooker – I find that it does a fantastic job of cooking all the peas and vegetables thoroughly.
I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.
Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
