Pressure Cooker Split Pea Soup

Pressure Cooker Split Pea Soup

This is my favorite split pea soup recipe. I love my pressure cooker and use it for meals that I need to cook for the family in a hurry. This is great for a cold winter’s night, and it tastes great for lunch the next day. I serve it with French bread.
