Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 large leek white and light green parts
  • 1 medium potato Russet or Yukon Gold
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 stalk of celery
  • 1 medium turnip
  • 1 small celeriac celery root
  • 8 Brussels sprouts or 1/4 of a small white cabbage
  • 4 oz approx. 100g Swiss chard
  • 7 oz approx. 200g cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Filtered water

Instructions

  • Begin by washing all vegetables thoroughly. Peel the onion, carrots, turnip, potato, and celeriac. Cut all the vegetables into uniform, small pieces. Having a consistent size ensures that everything cooks evenly and fits perfectly on a spoon.
  • Place all the cut vegetables into a pressure cooker. If you are using dry chickpeas, they must be soaked for at least 8 hours beforehand and added at this stage. Cover the vegetables with filtered water until they are fully submerged. Add the tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and the sea salt.
  • Close the lid and bring the pot to pressure. Once the pressure rings have risen (or the indicator signals full pressure), cook for 20 minutes. If you are using a conventional pot, cover it and simmer on medium-low heat for approximately 40 minutes.
  • If you are using canned or pre-cooked chickpeas, do not add them at the beginning. Add them at the very end, just before serving, to prevent them from falling apart.

Notes

  • One of the greatest advantages of this recipe is that it tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld.
  • It is a perfect candidate for batch cooking.
  • Simply store portions in the refrigerator and reheat gently whenever you need a comforting, healthy meal.
Serving Suggestions:
  • Serve this soup in a deep bowl or a large mug. It stands beautifully on its own as a light dinner, or it can serve as a nourishing starter to a main course of grilled fish, lean meat, or eggs.
  • Whether you follow a vegetarian lifestyle or simply want to increase your daily vegetable intake, this one-pot wonder is a timeless addition to any kitchen.
