Vegetable Beef Soup - Pressure Cooker Recipe- Bill Knapp's
"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."

It's probably been over 10 years since I had Knapp's veggie soup, but as far as I can remember this tastes just like it! Yum! Will be saving this recipe. -
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! -
I just got my pressure cooker and this was a perfect meal to start . I followed the recipe as noted. Everyone really liked it and wanted more. -
I never ate at a Bill Knapp's restaurant, but I do like good vegetable beef soup and this is it! When I wing it, my soup always ends up with too many veggies and not enough broth. This is perfect! I thought it might be a bit bland since there are no spices called for, so I added a little basil, oregano, italian seasoning, bay leaf and garlic powder. I would say the garlic powder is mandatory. I used 1 1/2 lbs of chuck stew beef, a small can of stewed tomatoes which I just cut up myself because I think the stewed tomatoes add more flavor. I used two medium potatoes with the skins left on because my husband wanted more potatoes and I added a can of drained and rinsed great northern beans when I added the tomatoes -- could have done with less beans but added them all since I would hae ended up throwing them out and finally, I added a little rough-chop cabbage because I like cabbage in this soup. We topped it off with grated parmasean cheese. I cooked it in a pressure cooker. This will be my go-to veggie-beef soup recipe from now on. You couldn't ask for better - don't forget the buttered artisan bread for dipping - YUM!

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 very good recipe to follow for guidelines of the timing used for the pressure cooker. I like the recipe, I changed only 1 ingredient, I used an (8)ounce can of tomatoe sauce in place of the diced tomatoes and 2 cups of beef broth. The pressure cooker adds some water to the recipe . Very Good
