In a pressure cooker place the tomatoes, carrots, potato, onion, garlic, bay leaf, black peppercorns with 1 cup of water Add salt Mix well together and pressure cook for one whistle While the vegetables are getting pressure cooked, cut off the edges of the bread slices and cut them into small squares. On a non-stick pan, dry roast these bread croutons, tossing them from time to time to prevent them from getting burnt After the vegetables are cooked in the pressure cooker, allow them to cool. Remove the bay leaf. Put the vegetables in a blender and blend them to a puree. Put the puree in a pan and add vegetable stock or water to get the desired consistency. Boil this once and add salt. Check for salt as it has already been added once. Serve hot by adding bread croutons
