How to Make Comfort Food with a Pressure Cooker

My allergies have been bothering me (all this pollen I guess). :/ and that always makes me feel run down and in dire need of some of mom’s home cooked comfort food. But alas, mom is on vacation (and I was not invited! the horror!). So I dropped by her house, rummaged through her recipes and cabinets, borrowed her pressure cooker and headed home.

Honestly, I think I might have made the soup almost as good as she does and on the first try too. Or else my head is so stopped up my taste-buds aren’t operating correctly. Which the 2nd possibility is most likely in this particular situation.

Now for those of you who are suffering from colds, allergies, etc. and need some good comfort food, grab a pressure cooker and try out my mom’s Potato and Cheese Soup:

Mom’s Potato and Cheese Soup

Ingredients:
4 large peeled potatoes, cut into 1” cubes
4 small onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups of water
4 cups of milk
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. chopped parsley

Directions:
Put potatoes, onions, salt and water into pressure cooker. Close the cooker. Bring to full pressure on high heat. Reduce your heat and cook for 3 minutes Remove cooker from heat. Allow to cool naturally, till there is no pressure inside cooker Open cooker. Mix the mixture smooth (I use a cake mixer). Return soup to pressure cooker. Add milk and pepper. Place cooker on medium heat and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Add cheese and stir until it melts. Serve immediately and garnish with parsley.



If you try this comfort food recipe I guarantee that you will love it! It’s easy and with all that cheese it’s gotta be bad for you! Yumm!
