Instructions

Heat the pot and when hot, add the oil and a dash of salt. Sauté the onion, ham and garlic until it begins to brown. Add the potato and continue to brown for another 2-3 minutes.
If using Marsala, add it now and cook 1 minute to reduce. Add the canned tomatoes, kidney beans, V-8 Juice and the broth. Stir then add the Worcestershire Sauce, Red Pepper Flakes (optional); add salt/pepper to taste.
Add the remaining fresh vegetables. Stir then cover the pot. Bring to high (normal) pressure, and set the cooking timer for 5 minutes.
Reduce pressure immediately so the vegetables do not overcook. Stir, then add salt and pepper if needed. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
