Steps

Rinse peas and drain well.
Turn a 6QT Instant Pot on to saute. Heat olive oil. Add bacon, onion, celery, and carrots.
Cook 3-5 minutes or until onions are tender. Stir in garlic.
Add remaining ingredients except for the parsley.
Select manual, high pressure and set the timer to 17 minutes. Once time is up, allow to naturally release for 15 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.
