Pressure Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Chop up beef into small cubes and pressure cook in three-four inches of water about 15 minutes.
• 2. Open pressure cooker when cooled, take a knife and wrap it in a wet paper towel. Take the wet towel/knife and wipe around the inside of the pressure cooker to remove the brown beef residue.
• 3. Open frozen vegetables and dump into the pressure cooker with the diced onions, celery and potatoes. (Some vegetable mixes have onion, celery and potatoes in them, but I like to add more!)
• 4. Pressure cook another 7 minutes. While it is cooking, boil spaghetti. Drain and after you open the pressure cooker, add the spaghetti. Pour in tomato juice. (I've used V-8 juice if I was out of tomato juice and I've used canned diced tomatoes, as well.) Salt & pepper to taste and serve. Best if served with friend cornbread patties or baked cornbread (not the sweet kind!)
• 5. This soup freezes beautifully. I freeze it in quart freezer bags and my husband can pull one out on any given day and have instant lunch!

Steps:

• In 5 or 6 quart pressure cooker brown beef on all sides in oil.
• Stir in all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes.
• Lock lid on pressure cooker and cook on high until the weight begins to "jiggle".
• Lower heat to a slow consistent "jiggle" and cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let pressure release conventionally.
• Stir in tomatoes and return to stove and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes.
• I used a 5 qt pressure cooker at 12 pounds of pressure for this recipe.

Steps:

• Layer the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Place flour in a large shallow dish. Add stew meat; turn to coat evenly. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil in batches. Place over vegetables., In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, broth, mustard, salt, pepper, thyme and, if desired, browning sauce. Pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender. If desired, sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
