chicken soup
pressure cooker chicken soup made from chicken, potatoes, onion, dried herbs both sage and thyme and extra virgin olive oil.
salt only added when soup served
all contents boxed and in the freezer for as and when
the pressure cooker was filled to the max with
frozen chicken drumsticks, chunks of potato with the skin, finely chopped onions, many of them, and 1 1/2 litres of water
the dried herbs were added after the cooking
cooking pressure to reach - pressure setting 2 high
once the pressure was reached, the hob heat was lowered
the cooker remained under pressure for 10 minutes
after the 10 minutes i turned the heat off and let the pressure drop naturally which took about 20 minutes
once the pressure had dropped i removed the lid and stirred.
the chicken meat fell off the bone. the bones were removed.
when cool, chicken, potato and onion soup was boxed for the freezer to be eaten as and when
notes
i bought the pressure cooker a couple of years ago, used it a few times, couldn't get on with it and put it at the back of the cupboard
this year i decided to have another go, checked the manual, looked at some you tube videos and went into action ...
very glad i did! love it for soups and stock. i'm sure the repertoire will expand over time but glad i gave it another go www.lakeland.co.uk/18434/lakeland-55l-pressure-cooker#rev...
ps i have used a tower pressure cooker but that was many, many years ago and long gone
ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily
