Tip:

Use 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese and it taste great!

​

**You could just chuck the cheese up and add it to the pot with the other veggies, it just looks better if you add it gradually.

If you want to cook the pasta in the soup that also works, I would not do it under pressure. Put the pasta in the pot after you release the steam and the soup is Hot.  Then just cook pasta the same amount of time as the package recommended.

​Just like Nana used to make but FAST!​
