Split Pea Stew ingredients and instructions
2 cups dried split peas

3 large carrots of 4 or 5 small ones diced
3 to 4 celery stalks depending on size diced

1. This is a dump and stir recipe
2. Put all the ingredients in the instant pot except the split peas and frozen peas
3. Pour in the veggie broth until it just barely covers the veggies
4. Stir
5. Pour the split peas on top. I don't stir at this point, I just pat them into the liquid
6. Put the lid onto your Instant Pot and set the pressure valve to seal
7. Press manual and set time to 11 minutes
8. When done, do a natural release for 12 minutes, then do a quick release
9. At this point, carefully remove the lid, and stir. Adjust liquid to desired consistence, and salt and pepper to taste. At this point pour in the frozen peas and stir. Let it set till the peas are warmed.
EAT!
