1 lb green split peas
1 ham bone or smoked pork hock
2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
1 onion
6 cloves garlic
1 pinch dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 carrots
1 rib celery

Steps

Rinse the split peas under cold water and remove any loose skins or debris.
Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to sauté, heat the butter or oil, and cook the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes.
Add the split peas, ham bone, thyme, bay leaves, chicken stock, salt, and pepper.
Seal the pot and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
Remove the ham bone and bay leaves, shred any meat from the bone, and return the meat to the pot.
Cook pork until it reaches 145 F inside, then rest it 3 minutes.
Stir the soup until smooth, then simmer on sauté for 5 minutes if it needs more thickness.
