PRESSURE-COOKER ENGLISH PUB SPLIT PEA SOUP

Pressure-Cooker English Pub Split Pea Soup image

This family favorite is the same recipe my grandmother used. Now with the magic of today's appliances, I can spend 15 minutes putting it together, walk away for a bit and then it's "soup's on!" Finish it with more milk if you like your soup a bit thinner. -Judy Batson, Tampa, Florida
