In reply to MICHAEL. Hey Michael! If you are looking for a heartier lentil soup, try out Instant Pot Lentil Chili which is made with kidney beans.

THIS WAS OKAY, THE BEANS ARE TOO SMALL AFTER COOKING, SO I ADDED SOME PINTO BEANS.....NOWWWW IT WAS A LOT BETTER. MAYBE NEXT TIME I'LL TRY ADDING KIDNEY BEANS TO THIS BABY AND SEE HOW IT COMES OUT. WITH THE PINTO BEANS ADDED IT CAME OUT OKAY.

Very easy to make. I added some chilli flakes for additional spice. The soup also freezes well.

The balsamic vinegar at the end kicked it up a notch!

I didn't have coriander to add, but it turned out really well. Used homemade chicken bone stock for the broth. Next time I'd hold back one to two cups of broth, and add as needed after the cooking is done.

This was a fantastic meal! I used brown lentils instead of green ones and absolutely loved the flavor and texture.

In reply to S. A. Damico. Unfortunately, I do not advise red lentils as they will turn to mush during pressure cooking.

Thank you for another healthy and delicious recipe. I love how the instant pot makes it taste like it's been simmering for hours. Your recipes are always so flavorful!

In reply to Carol Aiello. Hi Carol! Yes, you can! I would saute the carrots, onions, celery, and garlic as directed over medium-high heat. Add in the 5 cups of broth instead of 4, the lentils, tomatoes, and spices. Bring a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally. This will take about 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves, stir in vinegar and serve.
