Brown button. Press Start/Off button. Add the oil to the inner pot of the
pressure cooker. Add the onions right away and soften until translucent, do not brown.

Start/Off Button. Add the broth, and the mushroom liquid. Add tomatoes,
pasta, soaked mushrooms, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sugar, celery, and
carrots and stir until well blended. Lay the green cabbage on top. Don't worry if it fills
the cooker, it will shrink during cooking.
Lock the lid in place, set the cooker to
High (15 psi) for 5 minutes (see pages 6-7 for
instructions). Quick release the pressure. Remove the lid, salt and pepper to taste. If the
pasta is not yet tender, simmer with the cooker set to brown for a few minutes until it’s
just the way you like it.
Serve the soup in individual bowls, and provide a shaker or shaver for the Parmesan
and enjoy.
