What You'll Need
- 1 (16-ounce) package split peas
- 1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 celery stalks, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 6 cups water
What to Do
- Place all ingredients in a 6-quart pressure cooker; mix well. Lock the lid in place and bring to full pressure over high heat. When pressure regulator begins to rock, reduce heat to low and cook 10 minutes.
- Cool cooker at once by placing under cold running water. When pressure is completely reduced, remove lid and bay leaf; stir and serve immediately.
Notes
-
If using an electric pressure cooker, set timer to 10 minutes on soup setting or refer to owner's manual for specific instructions.
-
Don't have a pressure cooker? No problem! Place all ingredients in a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally until peas are tender.

Made this today. Only difference was I used Yellow Peas since they were handy. Everything else I followed exactly. This will now be my go-to recipe for split pea soup.

I will try other porky product goodness next time I make it. Ham, Bacon, heck, I may even try sausage.

Can you use a ham bone, instead of boneless pork shoulder?

Absolutely.....there is more flavor in the bone than you would ever guess! I read that you can use a ham bone at least 3 times. After making your soup.....rinse it, dry and freeze till you want ham flavor again in soup or beans. I tried it and YES...it works! Think about it.....a ham bone is much thicker (meaning more flavor there!) than chicken bones and most everybody knows that chicken stock made with the bones is much more flavorful than soup made only with chicken meat.

Good Luck...

In case the soup is not thick enough, put crock pot on low with the lid off for an extra hour or until it is the thickness you want. I do this when I make applebutter in the crockpot.
