30 Minute Vegetable Soup image

Pressed for time? With a pressure cooker, you can have this soup in a half hour. Ingredient quantities vary in my house, but this recipe is flexible to use up leftover veggies in the fridge. Great to service with pasta as a vegetarian sauce, or with egg noodles as a soup. If you reduce the water during the cooking, you get a thicker, stew like recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups potatoes, diced
3 cups carrots, cut into rounds
2 cups onions, sliced
2 cups celery, sliced
3 tablespoons garlic, minced (or more, to taste)
12 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
6 -8 cups water

Steps:

  • Chop all ingredients, add to the pressure cooker. Add spices, water and oil. Make certain your water level comes up to at least 3/4 of the chopped veggies in the pressure cooker.
  • Fasten pressure cooker lid on, place rocker on top (I use a Presto stainless steel pressure cooker with a weighted rocker, which will maintain 15 psi or pounds per square inch when it's rocking and steaming).
  • Stove top gas or burner heat to high, until pressure cooker is at optimal pressure, or the rocker is jiggling and steaming.
  • When pressure cooker is rocking, let it cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, cut the heat and let the pressure cooker cool down to decompress on it's own.
  • After it has decompressed (such as when your safety lock has dropped), open and enjoy.
