Background
I used to use a pressure cooker all the time because they're so convenient and efficient! Unfortunately it disappeared and I've only recently replaced it with a sparkling modern stainless steel 6 litre one. It's a bit different to my old one but I've now re-familiarized myself and this simple pressure cooker vegetable soup is a good way for a beginner to learn this great way to cook.
N.B. This recipe is for a 6 litre Pressure Cooker - lessen the quantities proportionately for smaller ones.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large carrots
- 1 stick celery
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 200g green beans
- 1 tin tomatoes (400g)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable bouillon stock
- 3 Tbsp tomato purée
- 2 Tbsp rice
- 1 Tbsp worcester sauce
- pinch of dried herbs
- 1200 ml water
Instructions
- Dice up all the vegetables.
- Heat the oil in the pressure cooker then add the carrots, onion, garlic & celery. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
- Stir in the cornflour, then add all the remaining ingredients.
- Cook under high pressure for 7 minutes then remove from heat. Allow to cool by itself.
Tips
- It's best to let the cooker cool naturally, but if you're in a rush add a minute to the cooking then quick-cool according to the manufacturer's instructions
- The time is for a 15 p.s.i. cooker, add 2 minutes if using 9-11 p.s.i.
