Vanilla-Scented Rice Pudding
Traveler’s Special Split Pea Soup
| By : |
About half an hour up the coast from where I live in Santa Barbara, California, lies Anderson’s Restaurant, which prides itself on its pea soup, serving more than 2 million bowls a year. There’s something so cozy about driving up the Central Coast and stopping in for a steaming bowl. I also really appreciate that they offer a completely vegetarian soup—a rare find. When I’m staying closer to home, I try to recreate their soup, and it comes pretty close!

Recipe Notes
Ingredient Tip: Regular sea salt is acceptable in place of the smoked sea salt, but if you have it, it lends a nice smoky component to this naturally vegan recipe. If you wish, you can add a ham bone or a few pieces of bacon to the Instant Pot and sauté for 5 minutes before commencing the recipe.

Andersons pea soup is the best..you nailed it!
Love the Instant Pot but am having a time putting lid on. Still, we all love it. Pea soup without a recipe: Add to pot —. Carrots , onions, ham bone with some meat on it, tablespoon any kind vinegar, pepper, garlic, really any kind of fresh veg, any. Kind of broth (fill 2/3 of pot), split peas – about 1cup – or soup mixed lentils. Can add can of chickpeas. Lid on.
