I love trying other countries take on some of my favorite recipes like daal! This Instant Pot Red Lentil Soup recipe takes some pantry staples and turns them into a magically creamy soup! This soup is super flavorful and amazing with some bread on the side. I absolutely love this quick lunch or dinner idea!

Instant Pot Turkish Red Lentil Soup

 2 tsp avocado oil
 1 medium onion (diced)
 ½ cup carrots (diced)
 3 garlic cloves (minced)
 2 tbsp tomato paste
 ½ tsp cumin
 ½ tsp smoked paprika
 ¼ tsp chili powder
 ½ tsp oregano
 ½ tsp dried mint
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp black pepper
 2.50 cups vegetable broth
 ½ cup red lentils
1

On saute mode, add oil to your instant pot. Saute the onions, carrots, and garlic for about 5-8 mins until soft.

2

Add the tomato paste and all the spices. Saute for another couple minutes.

3

Add in the vegetable broth and red lentils. Stir making sure to scrap the bottom to de-glaze the instant pot.

4

Close the lid on the instant pot with the lever on sealing. On Manual pressure high, cook for 3 minutes.

5

Once done, let the pressure release by turning the lever to venting. Once the pin has dropped, open the lid and blend your soup with an immersion blender until nice and smooth. Enjoy with some bread on the side!
