Pressure-Cooker Italian Wedding Soup
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min. + releasing
YIELD: 10 servings (3-3/4 quarts).
I like to buy large bags of frozen meatballs to have on hand for quick-fix meals. Meatballs can be used in so many different ways when I'm in a pinch for time, and they work so nicely in this soup. —Rebecca Yankovich, Springfield, Virginia
