Instant Pot Kosher Southwest Yellow Split Pea Soup, Any ideas on how to make this better?


Enhance Flavor and Texture:

  • Sauté vegetables: Before adding the split peas, sauté chopped onions, celery, and bell peppers in olive oil to create a flavorful base.
  • Add smoky spices: Enhance the Southwestern flavor by adding smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
  • Use vegetable broth: Replace the water with low-sodium vegetable broth for a richer taste.
  • Add sweet potato: Dice and add sweet potato for sweetness and additional nutrients.
  • Thickening agents: If desired, you can thicken the soup by adding a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) or mashed potatoes.

Customization Options:

  • Protein boost: Add cooked shredded chicken, turkey, or tofu for additional protein.
  • Spicy kick: Adjust the heat by adding chili powder, cayenne pepper, or jalapeño peppers to taste.
  • Creamy consistency: Blend a portion of the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender to create a creamy texture.
  • Garnish: Top with chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or shredded cheese for a visually appealing and flavorful garnish.

Cooking Tips:

  • Soak the split peas: Optional but recommended. Soaking the peas overnight helps reduce cooking time and makes them easier to digest.
  • Use a high-pressure setting: Cook the soup on high pressure for 15-20 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
  • Natural release: Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes before opening the Instant Pot.
  • Adjust seasonings: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed, such as adding more salt, pepper, or spices.
