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!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

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

Ingredients

• 1 can white beans, rinsed (cannellini or other)

• 5 slices of bacon chopped - I use organic, nitrate free/gluten free such as Applegate)

• 1-1 1/2 cups sliced carrot

• 1/2 - 1 cup chopped celery

• 1 can white beans (I used cannellini)

• 1-2 quarts organic, low-sodium chicken broth; I use 1 to make it a thicker consistency (My go-to is Pacific)

• 1 tablespoon thyme

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Turn pressure cooker on "saute" and add extra virgin olive oil.

2. Add carrots, celery, and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add remaining ingredients and turn pressure cooker to "soup" mode or medium-high pressure for 10 minutes.

4. Quick release, taste cautiously, and adjust salt/pepper if needed.
