Couldn't find any other recipe online for split and black-eyed pea soup. They're both legumes so it should be an obvious combo! Alas, no. However, this recipe made my day - and I also made this recipe. It was delish. I threw all of the ingredients into my Instant Pot, and set to Pressure Cook/Manual for 18 minutes on high pressure. When the cooking time finished, just let the pot sit undistributed for 15 minutes to naturally release some of the pressure. Then turn the steam release knob to Venting to quicklyyy release the remaining pressure. Legumes!
