For a creamier soup, blend a portion of the soup (about 1 cup) using an immersion blender or regular blender before adding the olive oil. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle warmth to the soup. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simmer the ingredients in a regular pot for about 30-40 minutes, or until the fennel is very tender. For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with nutritional yeast.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a pressure cooker, combine the diced fennel, sliced leek, bay leaf, vegetable bouillon, and water. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
15 mins
Seal the pressure cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Bring the cooker up to high pressure, then reduce the heat to maintain pressure. Cook for 15 minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow the pressure to release naturally (approximately 5-10 minutes). If your pressure cooker has a quick-release function, use it with caution, as rapid pressure release can sometimes affect the soup's texture. If using quick release, consider reducing the cooking time by 2 minutes.
04
Step
2 mins
Once the pressure is fully released and the lid can be safely opened, remove the bay leaf. Stir in the olive oil. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. (Prep time: 1 minutes)
