2. Light Onion Soup
This vegetable soup recipe is created to be on the lighter side, which makes it ideal for serving as an appetizer, a first course, or simply a light meal. If you would like the soup to have the desired delicate texture, you will need a fine mesh or cheesecloth for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 onions, chopped; yellow onions or white onions are preferable
- 4 cups of broth, chicken preferred but vegetable is an option
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp pepper
- 1 handful bay leaves
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- First, turn your pressure cooker on saute mode. Add in your olive oil and wait until it is hot.
- Then, add in your onions and make sure to spread them around so that they are not crowded. Cook the onions until they are soft and nearly translucent. The goal is to caramelize the onions lightly.
- Once the onions are beginning to caramelize, deglaze your pressure cooker with the white wine.
- Cook for about 2 minutes and then add in your broth, salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
- Put the lid on and seal it. Cook for 15 minutes on the highest setting and manually release the steam.
- Remove the bay leaves carefully with tongs.
- Then, pour your soup into a separate container using a fine mesh or cheesecloth to strain the broth. This will help create a clearer and more delicate broth.
- Add your onions back into the broth, stir and serve.
