This recipe is quick and easy! While I am still able to touch raw carrots and celery at this time, I had no issues cutting them. If you have OAS and cannot touch these items, I would recommend wearing gloves or buying a pre-cut Mirepoix which I have seen at Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes. Or make it a date night and ask your significant other to help out!

With the right ingredients this soup is gluten, dairy, and nut free, and OAS-friendly!

I "eye-ball" everything. Adjust any ingredients to your taste or liking. Also, avoid or swap out any ingredient to fit your allergies; do what's best for you!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10-20 minutes (some pressure cookers take different time to heat up)

• 1/2 - 1 cup chopped celery
