A comforting and flavorful soup made with split peas, ham, and aromatic vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and dicing the onion and carrots, and chopping the celery.
Uniformly chopping the vegetables ensures even cooking.
Add the diced vegetables, ham, split peas, thyme, and water to the pressure cooker.
Layer the ingredients evenly for optimal cooking.
Seal the pressure cooker and bring it to high pressure. Cook for 20 minutes.
Ensure the pressure cooker is properly sealed to maintain pressure.
Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the cooker.
Natural pressure release helps retain the soup's flavors.
Stir the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of sherry before serving.
Adding sherry enhances the soup's depth of flavor.
