INSTANT POT LENTIL SOUP
Instant Pot Lentil Soup - an easy, healthy recipe for French lentil soup made in the electric pressure cooker. So simple, hearty, and delicious! Gluten free, vegan, and freezer friendly. Recipe works with any color of lentils (red, green, or brown).This recipe as written yields a very thick soup, so feel free to thin it with additional broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Steps:
- Drizzle the oil into the Instant Pot. Set to SAUTE. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and stir. Continue to cook the onion, stirring often, until the onions are very soft and beginning to nicely brown and break down, about 8 minutes.
- While the onion cooks, peel the carrots and cut into small dice. Small dice the celery as well. Add the carrots, celery, thyme springs (you can tie them together if you like to make them easier to fish out later), salt, smoked paprika, and pepper. Sauté until the carrots and celery are barely soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add the lentils and garlic to the pot and stir to coat them in the spices. Let cook 30 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and vegetable broth.
- Cover and seal the Instant Pot, and then set to cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of high pressure, allow the cooker to release pressure naturally. This will take about 10 to 15 additional minutes.
- Open the lid and stir the soup. Remove the thyme stems, leaving the leaves in the soup. If the soup is too thick for your liking, thin with a bit of water or additional stock until you reach your desired consistency. (We tend to like our soups pretty thick and hearty around here.) Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Serve hot with a sprinkle of parsley, Parmesan (if using), and bread for dipping.

HEARTY BROWN LENTIL SOUP
I just love lentils so when I spotted this recipe in a book I couldn't resist making it. The recipe says you can add other vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, leeks, peppers, squashes, and root vegetables if available, but on my first try I stuck faithfully to the recipe, though I did halve it. From a book called "Love Soup'.

Steps:
- Rinse the lentils and put them in a large pot with 10 cups water and 2½ tsp salt. (I added the salt towards the end of the cooking period as salt added at the start of cooking can make the lentils hard.
- Finely dice the carrots, celery and potatoes and add them to the pot, along with the bay leaf and thyme.
- Bring the water to the boil, lower heat and simmer soup, loosely covered for about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile chop the onion medium fine and saute it in 2 tblsps olive oil, stirring often over a medium heat until it softens. Add the chopped garlic and keep cooking and stirring until the onion begins to colour, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and garlic to the soup as it simmers.
- Lightly toast the cumin seeds in a small pan, stirring constantly for a few minutes until they are fragrant. Grind the cumin in a mortar or spice grinder and add it to the soup, along with 1 tblsp lemon juice and plenty of black pepper.
- Add the vegetable broth and the fresh herbs, bring the soup back to a simmer and taste. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Stir in another 2 tblsps olive oil.
- When serving add a thin drizzle of olive oil on top of each bowl, or put a tsp of mild salsa on top of each serving.
