Pressure Cooker success!!!
I found a recipe for minestrone in my new cookbook. Rather than simmering for hours, this recipe called for cooking the mix of vegetables, liquid, and seasonings for 10 minutes at high pressure, releasing the pressure, then adding in some zucchini and pasta and cooking till the pasta was done. The soup was wonderful! The veggies, especially the carrots, were fully cooked, yet fresher somehow than if they were cooked for hours. The flavor was delicious. And it took 45 minutes, start to finish, to make. (25 minutes of that was prep time, which would have been shorter if I'd been more focused.)

YUMMMM that sounds so delicious! minestrone is my FAV but i can never make it right... i might have to try this... although this might be a dumb question but do you have to use something special to cook at high pressure or how do you do that?
I love my pressure cookers! (Yes, I have 3 of varying sizes. I'll have to experiment with minestrone, yum!
