Steps:

In pressure cooker, heat oil; sauté garlic 10 seconds.
Add tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and salt.
Stand the 2 drumsticks, meaty side down, in the soup.
Lock cooker lid in place and, over high heat, bring to high pressure.
Adjust heat to maintain pressure and cook 12 minutes.
Let the pressure drop naturally, or reduce pressure with a quick-release method.
Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow excess steam to escape.
Remove drumsticks from soup; cut meat from bone.
Cut the meat into 1-inch chunks; return it to the pot.
Discard the bone, or reserve it for stock.
Stir in the peas, corn and parsley; boil over medium heat until cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
