The first step in making a great Black-Eyed Pea dish is to make great Black Eyed peas. The Instant Pot is a wonderful way to do this and they come out perfectly every time. For the actual soup, I prefer a stovetop to really build more flavors, but save yourself a lot of cooking time by pre-cooking the beans first, then make your soup (see recipe in the picture: Black-Eyed Pea Soup).
