Recipe Note

Those living with a hunter are all too familiar with those little white rolls of ground venison taking space up in the freezer. While it sure is handy to have on hand, it does take planning ahead to defrost them from their brick-hard frozen state. Multi-pressure cooker to the rescue! You can have a big pot of vegetable soup from frozen to finish and on your table in just over an hour.
