Simple Pressure Cooker Vegetable Soup

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.
