MINESTRONE SOUP WITH TORTELLINI (PRESSURE COOKER)
This recipe was created for the pressure cooker, but I find it just as easy to make on the stove top or slow cooker. From Bob Warden's Slow Food Fast cookbook. The recipe calls for dry tortellini in the pressure cooker, but if using the stovetop, you could use refrigerated pasta.

Steps:
- Pressure Cooker: Add oil to the pressure cooker and heat on high or "brown" with the lid off. Saute onions, celery, carrots, and garlic until onions begin to sweat. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Securely lock on the pressure cooker's lid, set the cooker to high and cook 5 minutes. Perform a "quick release" to release the cooker's pressure. Check pasta for doneness. If too al dente for your likeness continue to boil on high or "brown" with the lid off to your preference. Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
- Stove top: Saute onion, celery, carrots and garlic in oil until onion is transparent. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until pasta is cooked to your preference.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your minestrone will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, green beans, and tomatoes.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to minestrone. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender, but not mushy. So, cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your minestrone, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use either chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Add tortellini or pasta: Tortellini or pasta is a great way to add some extra protein and texture to your minestrone.
- Serve with a dollop of pesto or grated Parmesan cheese: This will add a delicious finishing touch to your minestrone.
