Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker pan and add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeño, and celery and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and tender.
  2. Add the potatoes, half of the corn kernels, milk, pepper and vegetable broth. Cover and close the pressure lid.  Bring to a boil and once pressure is achieved lower the heat back to minimum and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. After 10 minutes remove from heat and allow the pressure to release on its own which takes roughly 10 minutes.
  4. After the pressure cooker has de-pressurised for 10 minutes, carefully remove the lid and blend the mixture to a rough consistency.  
  5. Add the remaining corn kernels and stir into the soup.
