Steps

Rinse the split peas under cold water and remove any loose skins or debris.
Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to sauté, heat the butter or oil, and cook the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes.
Add the split peas, ham bone, thyme, bay leaves, chicken stock, salt, and pepper.
Seal the pot and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
Remove the ham bone and bay leaves, shred any meat from the bone, and return the meat to the pot.
