It takes only 8 minutes to cook but you gotta wait a bit for it to come to pressure, but even then, most of the time cooking lentils takes way longer than 30 minutes!
Easy Weeknight Lentil Soup
My instant pot lentil soup is just the thing.
Recipe Summary Easy Weeknight Lentil Soup
This lentil soup is so easy to throw together and cook for a warm and hearty weeknight one-pot dinner. Serve soup topped with grated cheese (Cheddar, pepper Jack, or mozzarella) and Greek yogurt, if you like.Ingredients | Instant Pot Lentil Soup Recipes
2 ½ quarts water
1 pound dried brown lentils
1 cup baby spinach, or to taste
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced carrots
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 dashes liquid aminos (such as Bragg®)
Directions
Place water, lentils, spinach, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, salt, onion powder, pepper, and liquid aminos in a large soup pot. Bring to a rapid boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cover and cook until lentils are done but not mushy, 25 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Make it even easier by using a 12-ounce package of frozen mirepoix (blend of onions, celery, and carrots) instead of spending time dicing them.
Substitute soy sauce for liquid aminos, if desired.
