KIELBASA, BUTTERNUT SQUASH & KALE SOUP
SERVES 4
Ingredients
1 Package Kielbasa Sausage (Chopped
into half-moon size)
4 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Cups Chopped Butternut Squash
2 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary
1 Onion, Chopped
2 Cups Fresh Kale
4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
Water
1 Shot Glass Sherry, Cooking Wine or
White Wine
1 Cup Wild Rice (I ran out, so I just
used brown rice)
Follow the "BROWNING" instructions in this manual: add a bit of olive oil and place the
first 4 ingredients in and saut for 4 minutes. Pour in shot glass of cooking wine or
sherry and saut for another 2-3 minutes. Cancel "BROWNING."
Add the wild rice and chicken broth. Depending on how much soup you want, you
can fill up the rest of the pot with water and add in the sprigs of fresh Rosemary. Do
not add the Kale into the soup yet.
Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Set Pressure Valve to Airtight and program the
pressure cooker for 10-minutes.
Note: If you are making a really large, almost full pot, the pressure cooker will take
quite a while to heat up everything inside and come to pressure, about 20 to 30-
minutes to build up pressure. Once the pressure has been reached the 10-minutes will
begin to count down. Once the 10-minutes have reached 0, the cooker will
automatically beep and go to keep warm.
Using a dish rag, carefully release the pressure by turning the Pressure Valve to
Exhaust . Once the pressure has been completely released, the float valve will drop
which will release the locking mechanism on the lid. Now you can turn the lid to
unlock it. Give everything a good stir. When the soup is ready to serve, you can add
the kale and let the heat of the soup cook it just slightly. It will take less than a minute.
Add salt and pepper to taste as you serve.
SPLIT PEA & HAM-HOCK SOUP

1-2 Small-Medium Ham Hock
1/2 Cup Chopped Yellow Onion
1/2 Cup Chopped Celery
3 Cloves of Finely Chopped Garlic
1 Cup Chopped Potatoes
1 Cup Chopped Carrots
1 Cup Chopped Ham or Smoked
Sausage
4-6 Cups of Water or Chicken Stock
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: Immersible Hand Blender
Follow the "BROWNING" instructions in this manual: add a bit of olive oil and saut the
onions, celery and garlic for a few minutes. Cancel "BROWNING."
Add Split Peas to the vegetable mixture.. Take the Ham Hock and use a sharp knife to
carefully cut a few slits into the chunk, but don t slice it all the way through. Add to
mixture in pot. Pour water into pot so water overlaps the
mixture of Split Peas by 2 inches. You can choose to use chicken stock if you like. You
can do a mixture of water and stock as well.
