Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive or coconut oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 large carrot chopped
  • 1 ½ cup yellow split peas soaked overnight in water, if possible
  • 1 large sweet potato or 2 medium
  • 4 sprigs of thyme stems removed
  • ¼ cup coriander/cilantro chopped (10g)
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped (10g)
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon pink salt

Instructions

  • Switch on your instant pot and select "saute" and wait for the unit to display "hot" then add the olive oil.
  • Proceed to add/saute the onions and garlic until soft and translucent.
  • Add the red bell peppers and carrots and stir.Press "cancel" then continue to add the split peas, sweet potato, thyme, coriander (cilantro), parsley.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and coconut milk.
  • Place the lid on and flick the knob to "sealing".
  • Set to pressure cooker on high and adjust the +/- to 20 minutes (the unit will take several minutes to come to pressure).
  • Once the cooking time is over allow the pressure to naturally release.
  • This will take 10-15 minutes then release the excess pressure by flicking the knob to "venting".
  • Remove the lid puree the soup using a blender or immersion stick blender.
  • Add the black pepper and pink salt.

Notes

  • Feel free to use my Homemade Vegetable broth/stock.
  • It's not crucial to soak the split peas overnight but I do recommended soaking them in bowl of warm water
  • Feel free to use either green or yellow split peas, whichever one that is used won't impact the overall result.
  • If you don't have fresh parsley, thyme or coriander (cilantro) simply use a dried version instead.
  • For a chunky soup, only partially puree the soup with the immersion stick/blender. For a silky smooth soup completely puree the soup.
  • The soup may become thicker as it cools down so you may need to add a splash of water to loosen up the soups texture.
