Rinse fresh bay leaves and fresh thyme. Set aside on a paper towel. Rinse the peas and remove any stones. Chop the onion.
Add all ingredients to instant pot. Give it a stir. Place lid on instant pot and turn valve to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
After it beeps, use a pot holder or long utensil to turn the valve to "VENTING" using the quick release method. Be very careful not to have your hand over the valve because it will release steam and burn your hand.
Taste before adding any salt. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe was made with moms in mind. Use the quick release method instead of having to do natural release where you wait another 10-15 minutes.
