soups and stocks
The pressure cooker is perfect for preparing delicious, nourishing
soups and stocks in minutes instead of the hours taken by ordinary
methods.
Stocks form the base for most great soups and sauces, and you
can even substitute a stock for water in many recipes to add
extra flavor. Traditionally, stocks are made by simmering bones
and scraps for hours to extract all their flavor. With the pressure
cooker, you can do the same thing in just minutes by following
the simple directions on the following pages.
We’ve also included a few favorite soup recipes and, if you have a
favorite recipe of your own, try it in the pressure cooker using one
of the recipes in this book as your guide. If adding dry beans and
peas, they must first be soaked according to directions on page
53. Do not pressure cook soups containing barley, rice, pasta,
grains, dry beans and peas which are not listed in the chart on
page 54, and dried soup mixes because they have a tendency to
foam, froth, and sputter and could block the vent pipe.
Cooked barley, rice, grains, pasta, dry beans and peas which are
not listed in the chart on page 54, and dried soup mixes should be
added to the soup after pressure cooking.
