There are countless variations of fresh vegetables and herbs that can be incorporated into this soup, however, I do recommend choosing organic whenever possible.

 

Ingredients:

 

4 large celery stalks, chopped
4 large carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb red potatoes, cubed
1 pint cherry (or grape) tomatoes, chopped
2 cups baby kale, roughly chopped
6 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste

 

Tools Needed:

 

Pressure Cooker
Chopping Knife

 

Chopping Carrots on Cutting Board

 

Gather together all your vegetables for chopping. When I make this soup, I don’t finely chop the veggies. It’s just personal preference, but I leave them a bit larger. 

 

Add the olive oil to your pressure cooker.  Put it on the sauté function, then toss in the chopped celery, carrots, and onion. Season with the garlic powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir well.

 

Sauté until the vegetables begin to brown. Keep stirring. It usually takes about 5 minutes or so. Once they are browned, pour in the vegetable broth and turn the pressure cooker off.

To the pot, add in the potatoes, tomatoes, and bay leaves. Lock the lid into place and switch the vent to sealing, then set to the manual setting for 3 minutes.

 

When the cooking time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.

 

Remove the lid and discard the bay leaves. Now, stir in the baby kale. I have also used baby spinach before and it turns out great either way. I like to add a bit more salt & pepper, and then it’s ready for serving.
