Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 carrots sliced
- 3 celery stalks sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup dry green lentils rinsed and drained
- 2 (15-ounce) canned diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- ½ lemon juiced
- fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to the Instant pot, and set to ‘Sauté’.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the lentils to the pot, along with the diced tomatoes (with their juice), cumin, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable broth. Stir everything together, making sure the lentils are fully submerged.
- Hit ‘cancel’ on the Instant Pot to stop the saute function. Then close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position.
- Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" setting and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 15 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and stir in lemon juice.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes
- Storage: Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, the soup will keep for 4-5 days. To reheat it, you can do so in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to make sure it heats evenly.
- You can also freeze the soup! Stored in an airtight container, the soup will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. I recommend thawing it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
