Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 Yukon Gold potato, peeled and diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 tomato, diced

1 ½ cups red lentils
2 lemons
2 pita bread, cut into squares

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot. Add onion, potato, carrot, tomato, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle salt, cumin, cinnamon, and allspice over the vegetables and stir until fragrant.
Pour in stock, water, and lentils. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Meanwhile, spread pita squares on a lined baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and season with salt.
Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 8 minutes.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Stir in juice of 1 lemon.
Divide soup among bowls and scatter a handful of pita chips over each. Cut the second lemon into wedges and serve alongside.

SHORBAT ADAS(MIDDLE EASTERN LENTIL SOUP)

Shorbat Adas(Middle Eastern Lentil Soup) image

This healthy soup is enjoyed throughout the middle east, and although simple in preparation and ingredients, is a very flavorful soup. Adas is considered a main dish mainly because it is so filling, and is usually eaten with pita bread and lemon on the side. I use Ziyad brand red lentils, they are very very small and cook up quickly(see posted picture), so if you cannot find them, and use a bigger red lentil you may need to adjust water and ingredients as well as cook time. You may add veggies such as diced carrots, celery e.t.c, but this is how it is enjoyed traditionally in the Palestinian/Jordanian areas.
