One of my memories of going to Bill Knapp's was looking forward to having a bowl of their delicious vegetable soup. This recipe is not spot on, but I feel it's close, but nevertheless satisfying. I use a pressure cooker when preparing this recipe. The beef nearly melts in your mouth and from start to finish in about an hour. I got the recipe from a newspaper article, I made a couple of minor changes to the recipe and use the pressure cooking method instead of conventional method.

Made some additions, added 2 cups raw spinach, 1/2 cup barley and 1 cup chick peas, along with a couple of Bay leaves, 1/4 C Parsley and 1 inch of diced chorizo. Excellent result.

This is a delicious soup. I added S&P, garlic powder, bay leaf, celery seed, thyme and some Penzey's Bavarian herbs, to taste. Paste definitely necessary to give the soup body. Doubled the celery and the potatoes.

I had a taste for the vegetable beef soup my grandfather used to make (mind you the last time I was able to enjoy that soup was 30 years ago), so I Googled "Pressure Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup" and this recipe came up. Absolutely delicious! I know he didn't use bouillon but tastes have changed and this was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting!

Changed recipe a bit as I do not have a pressure cooker.<br/>Added beef broth instead of water, 1T better than beef bouillon,<br/>browned the beef , and cooked stove top several hours.<br/>Very good==tasted even better after sitting over night.
