Instructions

STEP 1 To prep and freeze: Combine carrots, celery, onion, garlic, pepper and salt in a 64-ounce round, freezer-safe container. Layer the ham on top, then the split peas. Seal and freeze until ready to use, up to 3 months.
STEP 2 To cook: Let the soup mix stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Invert the frozen soup mixture into a multicooker (the split peas should be at the bottom of the pot). Add broth and water. Lock lid in place and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Stir in the vinegar, if using. Serve immediately.
