Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter or oil
1 tablespoon star anise
1 1/2 cups leeks medium, white only, thinly sliced
1 head celery including leaves, cut in 1/2 inch slices
5 cups chicken broth or vegetable
2/3 cup orzo raw
1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Directions

Heat the butter in the cooker.

Saute the anise seeds for 10 seconds, stirring constantly.

Add the leeks and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Stir in the celery, stock, and orzo.

Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure.

Adjust heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 3 minutes.

Reduce pressure with a quick release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.

If the orzo or celery is not quite done, cook over medium heat, uncovered, for another minute or two.

With a slotted spoon, remove about a third of the celery and orzo.

Puree in a food processor or blender, then stir back into the soup.

Reheat if necessary.

Add salt to taste and serve immediately.

In the Nick of Thyme

Last night I was sharing a bottle of Tuscan wine with my date as I pondered what to write for this week's edition of my column. I was only a few days away from my deadline and deep in the throes of writer's block. "Why not something on...
