Ingredients
2 cups (1 lb.) Dry Split Pea, picked over and rinsed1 T olive oil1.5 cups chopped onion1.25 cups chopped carrots1-3 cloves garlic6 cups water or broth or mixture1 tsp Liquid Smoke2 bay leaves1 can potatoes or a couple chopped potatoes1 C 1% milk (any % will do)8 oz cubed hamdill, salt, pepper to taste
Directions
Check your pressure cooker gasket and setup. Add oil to pan and saute onions and carrots. As onions become translucent, add garlic. Add split peas and 6 cups or water or broth or mixture of the two. Add liquid smoke - do not measure this over the pan! Add bay leaves and ham. Put on lid an pressurize per instructions for your pressure cooker.

Cook under pressure (25 psi) 12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow pressure to naturally reduce. When pressure has dissipated, evaluate consistency - reduce if necessary on low heat until soup looks fairly thick. Add 1 can of potatoes, 1 C milk and allow to heat on low. Use stick blender to puree soup. Top with dill, salt, and pepper as desired. The dill is a great ingredient and a little unique! This recipe is loosely based on one in Jane Brodey's Good Foods Cookbook.
