Hi Usha, I like ur Clear Soup recipe. Perhaps u need to mention that the vegs need to be strained after being cooked in the pr. cooker. 
If I'm wrong, pls excuse me.
Amita
Dear Amita Palat, first of all your query is awesome.
No the veggies are not to be strained but rather have as chunks
of veggies the way served in a clear soup. Also could get a little
innovative and add some noodles ...
