(Note I use a pressure cooker, if using a stock pot add 1 more hour for cooking)

  1.  Add all ingredients except cheese and salt and pepper to a pressure cooker. Seal the lid and place over med/high heat, bring up to heat or when the safety valve clicks up and then reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 25 minutes.
