Note

Serve the soup hot.
The cooked meat and vegetables can be served separately.

Pairs beautifully with:

  • dill sauce
  • tomato sauce
  •  Pressure cooking keeps all flavors locked inside, making the soup richer.
  • Choose bone-in cuts for deeper flavor.
  • Do not overmix dumplings — this keeps them soft.

Pro tip: Don’t forget to enjoy the spring weather while your pressure cooker does the work.
