Why I Love This Recipe
I don’t really like the term “dump”. It’s just a “word” thing with me. But, it aptly describes this soup. To the bowl of a pressure cooker, you will add all of the ingredients. Pour 4 cups of water over the veggies, add the seasoning, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. That’s it.
Naturally release the pressure while you’re assembling a green salad and slicing some crusty French bread. I told you it was simple!
