How To Make pressure cooker carrot soup

  • Step 1
    Trim ends from carrots and cut carrots into 1" chunks. Saute all the vegetables in olive oil in a 4 qt. pressure cooker over medium-high for a few minutes. Add paprika and cumin and fry gently for a few moments, being careful not to burn.
  • Step 2
    Add stock, lock the lid, bringing to pressure over high heat. When the cooker reaches high pressure turn down the heat to maintain that pressure and cook for 9 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Use the quick release to drop the pressure quickly and then open the lid.
  • Step 4
    Puree the soup in batches and return to pan. Reheat without pressure and serve.
