--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      tb            Sweet butter or oil
   1      md            Onion -- finely chopped
   3                    Celery ribs -- thinly sliced
   5                    Sweet potatoes (2 lb) --
                        - peeled and grated
   2      lg            McIntosh apples -- peel, core,
                        - grate
   5      c             Chicken or vegetable stock or
                        - bouillon
   1 1/2  ts            Orange peel -- grated
     1/2  ts            Salt -- or to taste

Heat the butter in the pressure cooker. Saute the onions until soft,
about 3 minutes. Add the celery and grated potatoes and toss to coat
with the butter. Add the grated apples, stock, 1 ts orange zest, and
salt. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high
pressure. Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure, and cook for
4 minutes. Let the pressure drop naturally or use a quick-release
method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess
steam to escape.

If the soup seems too thin, puree about 1/3 of it and stir the puree
back into the soup. Stir in the remaining 1/2 ts orange zest and salt
to taste. Heat thoroughly before serving.

Yield: 6 Servings
