*I cooked this soup in the Insta Pot. You can use the old fashion pot, just takes a longer time. I actually love the flavor better the old fashion way.
Put the peas, bay leaves, veggie stock in the pot. Cook on soup with the Insta-pot.

*In a regular pot, bring to boil, turn to simmer with a lid on. This will take 2-3 hours.
