NINJA PRESSURE COOKER RECIPES HOW TO

Keep an eye out for black Friday sales- I got my six quart Instant Pot for only around $60 last year (what a deal!).ĭon’t have a pressure cooker or instant pot? Just look at the recipe notes below for how to make this on your stovetop or in your slow cooker.

It also has a sauté function, so you can cook up the mirepoix (that’s the fancy word for the celery, carrots, and onions) right in the pot. Pressure cookers not only cut the cooking time of things like pulses and tough cuts of meat wayyyyy down, but I find it also tends to cook things with better flavor than a slow cooker. You can even replace it for your slow cooker (it has a slow cooker setting as well). You can use a smoked turkey leg if you want a pork-free version.Īnd you can even make this soup vegetarian or vegan by omitting the ham and making a few other changes (see notes in recipe below). You don’t have to be like me and buy a whole ham just for the bone! If you don’t have a ham bone – since it’s not very often in life that we come across them, is it? – you can definitely just use thick-cut diced ham, or a ham hock. There is a ton of flavor in the bone itself, as well as marrow and gelatin, which infuses into the soup as it cooks (which both thickens it and gives it many of the same health benefits as bone broth). And there’s also still likely a lot of meat left on the bone, which will easily come off after letting it simmer in the soup for so long.Ĭonfession: I actually bought a whole ham JUST so I would have the bone to make this soup. I don’t care, I am who I am :-)Īdding a ham bone to split pea soup elevates it to a whole new level. I fully plan on being “that person” who asks to take the turkey carcass home after Thanksgiving at my in-laws so I can make homemade turkey stock. If you’re planning on having ham this holiday season, do NOT throw out the bone! And don’t let the person hosting throw it out either. How to make split pea soup with a ham bone
