Directions

  1. heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add sausage meat, and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Remove sausage to a plate and drain oil. Add another 1 teaspoon of olive oil to pressure cooker, cook onion and garlic until onion is transparent. Add barley and stir 1 minute. Return sausage to pressure cooker. Add lentils, chicken, parsley, and chicken stock to cooker, adding enough stock to completely cover chicken. Close cover securely, place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Bring pressure cooker to full pressure over high heat (this may take 15 minutes). Reduce heat to medium high, cook for 9 minutes. Pressure regulator should maintain a slow steady rocking motion, adjust heat if necessary.

  2. Remove pressure cooker from heat, use quick-release following manufacturer's instructions or allow pressure to drop on its own. Open cooker and remove chicken, shred meat and return to soup. Add garbanzo beans, spinach and salsa, stir to blend and heat through before serving.

Recipe Note

This recipe was given to me by my mom, but I've also tweaked it. I can't guarantee that it isn't from a cookbook somewhere--mom can't remember where it came from--but it's an old family favorite and a great soup for a fall day. Made in a pressure cooker, it takes approximately 20 minutes for a full, hearty meal. This soup also freezes beautifully.
