So start adding celery to your dishes! » Spices – My lentil soup seasoned with few of my favorite spices like – crushed red pepper flakes, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and salt add flavor and takes the soup to a whole new level. Begin by sauteeing onion-ginger-garlic in the ‘SAUTE’ mode for a couple of minutes. Toss in your veggies and cook for 3-4 minutes. Now add lentils, spices, water/broth, and watch the Instant Pot create a beautiful meal for you. When you take off the lid, your soup will be thick. The veggies will quickly break down during pressure cooking. Hand-blend the soup with a spoon. Adjust the consistency as necessary by adding more water, and be sure to adjust the seasonings too. Note that this soup will thicken as it cools. Squeeze a generous amount of lemon for bright, fresh flavor and serve hot. The occasional bits of carrots and broccoli lends a great texture to this soup. I eat my soup with Garlic knots on the side, but my kids love to eat by dunking their knots in the soup until it soaks up the soup. Let me know in the comments if you try this recipe.
