Simple Instant Pot Split Pea Soup

My husband loves my Crock Pot Split Pea Soup, but a slow cooker recipe requires that I remember to start dinner rather early in the day…and I am a bit forgetful. So after promising him all week that I would use the ham bone in the freezer to make split pea soup, and forgetting each day to start the slow cooker, I decided to use my Instant Pot as a Pressure Cooker and quickly make Split Pea Soup.

Let’s get started!
