I have only just spotted someone says they like Chef AJ's Split Pea Soup recipe and know nothing more, and i don't see the recipe in the threads. Is it here or on another board? TIA. Or does anyone prefer another split pea soup recipe?

She did it a few times on YouTube, and you can find it in both of her books, too.

Split Pea Soup

8 cups water - very HOT, may use broth
6-8 cloves garlic
1 pound carrots, sliced
1 bunch celery, cut up
2 large potatoes, cubed
1 pound split peas
10 ounce onion, cut up (1 bag diced frozen)
1 capful liquid smoke (Optional)
Spices:
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 teaspoons parsley flakes
1-2 tablespoons salt-free seasoning (Mrs. Dash Table Blend, Benson Table Tasty, etc.)

In pressure cooker - once it hits pressure, 6 minutes with hot water, 8 with cold.
Serve over brown rice and/or raw spinach or other greens, or stir in some greens right after releasing the pressure.
Thicker the next day.

I like this one from Heather McDougall (as, always, I've adapted it to fit my food sensitivities and to cook in Instant Pot, but I've included the original link):

SPLIT PEA SOUP
adapted from https://www.forksoverknives.com/print/r ... p?id=14328

By Heather McDougall, Serves 8-10, Ready In: 2 hours or (30 minutes in Instant Pot)
This is my family’s favorite split pea soup. My mom has been making this version for over 25 years. This tastes even better the next day and is great over baked potatoes or brown rice.

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups green split peas
¼ cup steel cut oats or oat groats
8 cups low-sodium vegetable stock (good with water too)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 sweet potatoes (size of 2 russets), chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon paprika
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Place split peas, oats and stock in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and add bay
leaves and celery seed. Cover and cook over low heat for 1/2 hour.
2. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 1 additional hour.

OR PLACE ALL INGREDIENTS IN THE INSTANT POT AND COOK ON MANUAL FOR 30 MINUTES WITH NATURAL RELEASE.

Note:
This recipe freezes and reheats well.
