HAM BEAN SOUP (PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• Put the ham bone in the bottom of the pressure cooker (I normally have to break mine into pieces so it will fit).
• Pour the dried beans on top of the bone, and cover with cold water (don't fill your cooker more than 2/3 full). Sprinkle on the dried onion, garlic powder, and pepper.
• Lock on the lid, bring to pressure, then reduce the heat and cook for 25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, and let sit for 15 minutes, before carefully removing any remaining pressure.
• Remove the lid, pour in the can of tomatoes including their juice, and the ham pieces. Simmer for 20 minutes.

BUTTERNUT, CHARD & WHITE BEAN SOUP PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• In 1T. olive oil, saute onion, celery and carrot until softened try not to let brown. Add in
• white beans, rosemary sprig, thyme sprig, chicken stock and pepper. Bring pressure to 15lbs and cook for 35 minutes. Beans should be almost soft but still have a small bite to them.
• Using the quick-release, cold water method, open lid, add in butternut squash, garlic, fresh rosemary minced, garlic and salt & pepper to taste. Place lid back on and pressure cook for 10 more minutes with a natural release method. Stir in chard greens just before serving and use remaining chicken stock to thin soup if too thick.
• Test to make sure beans are completely soft. Pull out stems of rosemary and thyme. Add salt to correct seasonings. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and croutons.

CREAM OF GARDEN TOMATO SOUP - PRESSURE COOKER - WEST

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in the pressure cooker over medium high heat until the butter melts. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and their juices, thyme, salt, pepper, and broth and stir to mix.
• Lock on the lid and bring to pressure over high heat, about 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes to finish cooking (this step also lets the cooker cool down so that the later release of steam is minimal).
• With the steam vent pointed away from your face, gently release any remaining pressure. Let cool enough to remove lid.
• Use immersion blender to puree soup (or transfer soup to blender or food processor and puree in smaller batches to avoid buring yourself).
• If after blending you see any chunks of tomato peel, put soup through strainer or food mill to remove.
• If using right away, place soup in large pan and stir in cream. Reheat gently without boiling then add garnish of choice and serve.
• If not using right away, store in the refigerator until ready to use; then stir in the cream, heat and serve.
