PRESSURE COOKER LENTIL SOUP

Pressure Cooker Lentil Soup image

This is a delicious, easy, and, most importantly, FAST way to make a hearty, nutritious, stick-to-ribs soup. As with most bean soups, a good broth is they key to flavor, so use your own homemade, or a good quality brand that is sold a carton, not canned! I like Pacific Foods mushroom broth for a good, meaty flavor. If you like spinach and appreciate an extra kick of iron, pick up a bag of prewashed baby spinach, or else buy regular spinach and clean and stem it while the soup cooks.

Open the pressure cooker via the quick release method (see your cooker's owner's manual!) or let the pressure come down on its own.
Remove the bay leaves.
