cowgirl8 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I hope this is where this belongs..... Silky Potato soup in 30 minutes from start(peeling potatoes) to finish(on the table) in a pressure cooker 6 med to large potatoes 1 carton of chicken broth 2T olive oil 1 onion chopped cup of chopped carrots 2 cloves a garlic celery leaves, about half cup(optional) small red and yellow bell pepper (optional) or red poblano pepper (optional) 8 oz cream cheese Saute the onions, carrots, garlic celery(peppers if added) until the onions are transparent but not browned in olive oil. While that is working, peel potatoes. Add broth into sauteed veggies, cut up potatoes and add. The potatoes should be wading a little in the broth, not really floating. Turn heat to high and let the broth warm up to almost boiling, put pressure cooker top on and once steaming, lower heat to a nice medium sound(probably best to go by the directions of your pressure cooker). Start timer for 6 minutes. Quick cool after cook time, stir in cream cheese. When you do this the potatoes fall apart and make a very velvety soup....You can make this soup on the stove top without a pressure cooker, but, I've found the pressure cooker is fool proof... I never make this soup the same, i always experiment with adding things i have on hand at the time. Some times i add more pepper, its good with a little fire. Bacon is good. The only thing that can go wrong is too much liquid. If this happens, if you have some dehydrated potatoes on hand, you can add a little at a time until its where you want it. Link to comment
edensong Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yummy, I like cream cheese in just about anything! I had to go look up the poblano pepper. I'm guessing any hot pepper would do. Link to comment
GirlNextDoor Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Poblano is a hot pepper but not real hot. It's good for when you want a little interest. I describe it this way. Properly used you can taste a pepper, not feel it. If you can't taste it you have too much pepper. It should be yummy in cream cheese. Link to comment
