I made this in the pressure cooker, and my only regret is that I didn't double the recipe. This soup is delicious! Sadly, I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand this time, and I was worried that the soup would lack flavor. I threw in a spoonful of tomato paste and it doesn't seem to have hurt anything. I like a bit of heat, so I added a pinch of Essence of Emeril, for funs!

I'm a 25 year old girl who loves cooking, I'm always throwing dinner parties for my friends, which has made me quite popular (A full tummy is a happy tummy) When I'm not cooking I'm taking pictures or playin with bratty Bella. My favorite "famous" cook is Nigella Lawson, I just love her.
