Spelt soup in an electric pressure cooker, thick and creamy, just the way I like it. Those who have followed me for a long time and know me well know that I don’t like broths and soups. Vegetables are not my passion, but since I’ve not been a child for quite some time now, every now and then, and I swear, without fussing, I eat soup and stews. However, they must be thick and creamy, disguised as dry first courses. This spelt soup is excellent and is prepared in a jiffy with that fantastic tool that is the electric pressure cooker. Don’t have one yet? I would think about it…

Creamy Spelt Soup in Pressure Cooker.
If you don’t have an electric pressure cooker, you can naturally use a classic pressure cooker. In this case, I recommend just adding a little more water.
