Split pea soup, Instant Pot version

We had a craving for split pea soup, and we wanted to give our new Instant Pot another spin. We tried this recipe: https://www.acouplecooks.com/instant-pot-split-pea-soup/

We followed the recipe closely, except that we tossed in a few sprigs of thyme along with the peas (picked over and rinsed), 1 tsp salt, and 8 cups broth. We also used no-salt chicken broth (while this recipe is vegetarian, our version is plant-forward). We found the use of raw, microplaned garlic at the end of cooking too pungent; in the future we will use 2 minced garlic cloves and cook them a minute later than the onion. (June 2024)
