    • Instructions


    In a pressure cooker or Dutch oven, combine all vegetables except for peas, which should be added after the soup is made. Add juices from green and wax beans. Add the tomato soup, remaining ingredients, and enough water to reach the level of the vegetables.
    Cook at 10 pounds pressure for seven to 10 minutes or simmer in a Dutch oven for two hours or until carrots are tender. Add peas last. Additional stock may be added as desired.
