    Tips And Substitutions

    This soup can be made in a number of different ways to suit your and your family's preferences and what you have on hand.

    • Use chicken broth if you prefer
    • Add a bit more broth if you want this soupier rather than thick
    • If you prefer a thicker, more creamy soup then remove two cups of cooked soup and blend before adding back into the soup and stirring
    • The soup will get thicker as it stands, if you want to thin it out simply add more broth or a little bit of water
    • You can add in harissa if you have it on hand, it adds a great flavor
    • Serve with yogurt (use a plant-based version if you want to keep it vegan), and toppings like pomegranate seeds and herbs

    Have fun and make this instant pot split pea soup your own, it is very forgiving.

    How To Serve Vegetarian Split Pea Soup

    The beauty of this soup is that there is no much flavor that it can be enjoyed as is straight from the instant pot, or you can dress it up with some pomegranate arils and yogurt (use a plant-based version if you want to keep it vegan) for something a little bit different.

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
