I had never made this before, and I love using my pressure cooker for everything. This soup is perfect for cold days.

Steps

1

Place the pressure cooker on the stove and sear the pieces of beef. Add the corn pieces. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, then cook for 20 minutes after the valve starts to whistle.
2

While the beef is cooking, wash and chop the vegetables. Some people like to add green beans, xoconostle, or small masa dumplings—feel free to add your favorites.
3

In a skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and guajillo chiles. Don’t let them brown too much. Add water and simmer for 5 minutes. Let them soak for a bit, then blend with the cooking water and bouillon cubes until smooth.
4

When the beef is done and the pressure has released, carefully open the cooker. Add the strained chile mixture, vegetables, and epazote. Close the cooker and cook for 5 more minutes after the valve starts to whistle.
5

Check and add more salt if needed.

Enjoy with a squeeze of lime and warm tortillas.
