Recently I was in the mood for lentil soup. I looked online site for
recipes and found several good ones. I wanted to use my Instant Pot, so I
followed this recipe with some adaptation:

In bold are
my additions/changes
1
cup dry brown or green lentils washed and rinsed
1/2 cup quinoa rinsed
4 carrots chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups water or broth [I used low fat, low sodium chicken broth]
Added 1 can of diced tomatoes with the juices
Splash of dry white wine (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Umami Seasoning Blend (optional ) [I didn’t have this so I added a bunch of mushrooms, sliced, along with a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard, some red pepper flakes, and dried thyme]
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup quinoa rinsed
4 carrots chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups water or broth [I used low fat, low sodium chicken broth]
Added 1 can of diced tomatoes with the juices
Splash of dry white wine (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Umami Seasoning Blend (optional ) [I didn’t have this so I added a bunch of mushrooms, sliced, along with a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard, some red pepper flakes, and dried thyme]
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Add all the ingredients to the Instant Pot. Stir.
Close
the lid. Switch the vent to "sealing". Choose MANUAL ( Pressure cook)
mode, choose High Pressure and adjust the time to 12 minutes. It will take
around 10 minutes to get up to pressure.
When
the InstantPot beeps after cooking, wait on KEEP WARM timer for 5 minutes. Then
move the valve to "venting". After the pressure is released, and pin
is down, carefully open the lid.
Give
the soup a good stir. Adjust the seasoning. Squeeze a quarter of lemon or stir
in lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning. Add some fresh cracked black pepper on
top and garnish with fresh herbs.
I topped the soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
