Heat oil and add the bay leaf and whole peppercorns.

Then add the chopped onion, ginger and garlic. Cook for a minute.

Add chopped celery, carrots, potato, spinach, dried thyme one after another.

Add the chicken pieces, salt, fresh ground pepper and 4 cups of water.

After full pressure is reached, cook in the pressure cooker for 8 minutes on low heat.

You can also omit the whole peppercorns and instead increase the amount of ground black pepper.
