The Instant Pot is a versatile and convenient kitchen tool that can help you prepare delicious meals in no time. Let’s dive into the steps of making a delicious lentil soup in an Instant Pot.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried lentils
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: fresh herbs, lemon juice, or croutons
Instructions:
- Start by rinsing the lentils under cold water, then set them aside.
- Turn on the Instant Pot and select the Saute function. Add a splash of oil and sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until they become soft and fragrant.
- Add the rinsed lentils to the Instant Pot, followed by the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes.
- Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir to ensure the spices are well distributed.
- Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the pressure valve is set to the sealing position.
- Select the Manual/Pressure Cook function and set the timer for 15 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully move the pressure valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
- Remove the lid and give the lentil soup a stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the lentil soup hot and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or some crunchy croutons.
