I've made various lentil soups over the years but my family didn't especially love them.
This one however, caught our attention and I'll definitely make this one often.
I've adapted it from a recipe by Jill Nussinow.
It takes less than 30 minutes.
1 onion - chopped
2 carrots - chopped
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs dried thyme
6 cups liquid (at least 2 cups vegetable broth)
1.5 cups green or brown lentils
1/2 cup red lentils
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 knuckle fresh turmeric, peeled and grated
1 t. ground coriander
2 t. salt
1/2 t. black ground pepper
Place onion into pressure cooker insert and add 3 T. water. Bring to a boil using the saute setting, and add onions. Saute for 3 minutes, stirring if needed. Add garlic, and carrots, and saute for another minute or so.
Add bay leaves, thyme, broth/water, lentils, potato, turmeric, and coriander.
Lock the lid into place and cook at pressure for 7 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve as is, with crusty bread, or over a bowl of rice, quinoa, barley, faro, or a mixture of these grains.

Hmmm... just the other day I pressure cooked green lentils for the first time. It worked great. Before, I had to cook them and cook them and they never got nice and soft. Lentil soup is one of our favorites. I use a recipe from a website called budget bytes. It's the "vegetable and lentil soup" and it's delish. She has lots of really good recipes, but not all are vegan. Check it out!
