I love the Instant Pot; such a great tool to have in the kitchen. If you aren’t familiar, an Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that tenderizes meat, cooks soup, and other foods at rapid speed. I’ve since ditched my slow cooker because I literally use my Instant Pot and have food … well, in an instant. Check for Whole30 Instant Pot Split Pea Soup recipe in 2024.

Clearly, I was excited about the change and have started incorporating peas during Whole30. This Whole30 Instant Pot Split Pea Soup is the perfect way to introduce peas into your routine.
