- In a pressure cooker, place potatoes, pumpkin, leek, fennel, sage and stock cube. Cover with water.
- Seal the cooker and heat. When pressure is reached, reduce heat and simmer 15-17 minutes. Meanwhile, boil the barley in salted water until done, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- Take pressure cooker off the heat and release the steam. With an immersion blender, puree the vegetables. If it is too liquid, simmer a few minutes uncovered to reduce.
- Add the barley and simmer a few more minutes. Adjust salt if necessary. Serve, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with Parmesan.
