Step 1

Add all ingredients to the pressure cooker pot and briefly stir them together.

Step 2

Secure and seal the lid. Cook at high pressure for 15 minutes, followed by a 15 minute natural release. Manually release remaining pressure.

Step 3

Uncover. Remove the bay leaves (and ham bones, if used) and stir the soup. It will be very hot, so let it cool a bit before serving.
