Hearty And Very Filling Meal, So Much Goodness In One Bowl. Recipe Incudes Stepwise Pictures, And Detailed Instructions.
This is a CPK restaurants copycat recipe. It is not a fancy looking soup , thou when I first tasted it , I instantly liked it . The consistency of the soup is thicker when compared to the usual soups, the chunky texture from the peas , barley and carrots in every sip tastes so different and delicious.
No thickening agent, like corn starch, flour is added to the soup for thickness , you need not even mash it / blend, it gets naturally thickened. There is no cheese , or dairy products added for creaminess of the soup , TOTALLY HEALTHY. My toddlers loves this soup, and it keeps him filled for a while. I love everything about this recipe , Hearty Meal , 100 % Vegetarian, Less Work And More Nutrition!
What Barley To Use?
I used Quaker Brand Quick Pearled Barley , you can use other brands too.
Pearl barley / pearled barley is whole grain barley , is the most common form of barley for human consumption because it cooks faster and is less chewy .
Store And Reheating Instructions
If you have any leftover , store soup in the refrigerator in a air tight glass container . Stays good for up to three days.
Reheating – When you take the soup from the fridge , it will be like a paste (thick). Scoop the required amount of soup with a ladle , place it in a microwave safe bowl, add water to your preferred consistency and microwave for a minute or more depending upon the quantity. I prefer to heat it this way than heating the entire bowl of soup , it will absorb more water while reheating in microwave.
Recipe Yields 1 quart of soup , easily serves two to four persons

Step By Step Pictures Of How To Make Split Pea And Barley Soup
Measure and keep ingredients ready – dry green split pea, quick pearled barley, dice carrots into tiny pieces , cinnamon powder , garlic powder , salt, water ( 22 OZ to pressure cook and 6 OZ to add later ), and green spring onions for garnish.
Dump Everything And Pressure Cook For 13 Minutes
I used Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus 8 Quart for cooking. Place the inner vessel into the Instant Pot. Add ALL THE ABOVE INGREDIENTS in the pot ( add only 22 OZ of water ) , stir well.
Close the LID of the Instant Pot . Press the PRESSURE COOK mode on HIGH power, and Set CUSTOM settings, TIMER to 13 minutes. SEAL the Pressure Valve ( this model automatically seals). Switch off the KEEP WARM MODE ( light should not be on in the keep warm mode). Now press START. After the pressure cooking is done. Press CANCEL . Then do QPR (quick pressure release) by moving quick release switch from SEAL TO VENT.
After the steam is released, open the lid, add remaining 6 OZ of water , stir well .
Immediately remove inner pot from the instant pot ( to prevent the soup from getting thicker ). Garnish with scallions and serve immediately .

Notes
*Recipe Yields 1 quart of soup , easily serves two to four persons
*You can use vegetable broth instead of water .
*Any brand dry green split pea will work for this recipe ( no need of soaking or cleaning the pea)
*To gain more nutrition from the soup - Add water accordingly to what I have mentioned , first 22 OZ and later 6 OZ. This soup will absorb more water as you keep adding it , so I added exact amount of water needed to cook , and later added the remaining water at the end. So the consistency is not too thick or runny. You could adjust extra water to your preferred consistency at the end ( after pressure cooking ).
*Even after 13 minutes of pressure cooking , you can still feel the texture of carrots , and barley in the soup (that is how it should be).
