I found this recipe because I'm super broke and my family has been looking for ways to lower our grocery bill. I didn't expect to find such delicious food that utilized alot of stuff I already have in my kitchen. I can't thank you enough for my new favorite lentil soup! I'm very excited to browse your channel and print out some more recipes!!!
Making this tonight for dinner! I bought some corn tortilla chips to dip into my lentil soup. I'm very pregnant due In two weeks and this is one of my cravings. ! I'll probably ad a dallop of sour cream and jalapenos to the top. We're also adding some turkey meat crumbles to the finished soup.
Hi I just made this Lentil soup and it came out amazing. I used to be sort of ho hum about lentils, now I love lentils in this soup. I did add in some spicy chicken sausage at the end with the spinach. So thank you for this channel and all of your recipes, which I've made several of in the instant pot.
I made this today for lunch and it was incredible! My first time with an iFOODreal recipe. This is also the first lentil soup that my wife liked! I've tried many. I'm so grateful for this recipe as I can now make healthy lentil soup that both of us love! Thanks so much!
Made this last night and added some red beans and 2 curry leaves with the bay leaves. Came out amazing. Family of 6 loved it, even the picky littlest guy! So much faster than a regular pot! Yay!
After searching many Lentil soup recipes, I found your channel. This is by far far the best lentil soup recipe!!! I hope you and your family are safe and well. Thank you for sharing your talent of cooking. 🥰
OMG sooo yummy! I changed it up for my taste (added potato, tomato paste, (no tomatoes) bouillon, fresh tarragon, black pepper, soy sauce. Adding fresh garlic and cayenne pepper when served!
I just made this. I didn’t have any greens so I threw some frozen green beans in. I also didn’t have celery. I also did two tablespoons of vegeta vegetable seasoning instead of the cubes bc that’s what I had on hand. It’s soooooo good. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! I will def make this again.
Just made this this afternoon. EXCELLENT!! I’ve had serious bout of COVID and haven’t felt like cooking or eating for that matter. Used what I had on hand and voilà! My first hot meal was healthy and easy enough for me to make with not a lot of energy. Thanks for such a great, easy to understand recipe.❤
Made this tonight, but included beef for stew, and used red lentils, which naturally thickened the consistency of the mixture (no hand blender needed). I only used 1 cup of lentils to two cups of stock. Then I topped off the pot with vegetables, which produced enough liquid for the perfect beef/lentil stew. THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING RECIPE!
I found your channel and I just love you! I have been using pressure cookers for 2hrs now. I can't wait to go through your videos! I am 51yrs old and my children are grown and gone so I bought a small 2qt pressure cooker for making small batches of soup. I can not eat much meat and I have to have softer diet so I have been experimenting with lentils and beans. You made recipe easy for me adjust to my 2qt and with on hand items! Ty and I just love your upbeat personality! I am trying to find recipes that are healthy and hearty!
Awe, so happy you found me and thank you for your kind words. Ah, I will be where you are soon. Time flies. That's when I will downsize my Instant Pot too haha. Enjoy and be healthy!
Great soup!!! Just found it today and cooked it tonight. So perfect for the instant pot. I added some olive oil for nutrition absorption. Thanks for the recipe!
I'm no good at cooking so I bought one of these in the hopes that I can start eating better. I've watched lots of videos and yours are the most informative and look easy to make. And of course the food looks amazing. Can't wait to try a recipe.
I learned so much watching this. Adding the garlic and spices AFTER cooking sounds like a genius idea. I just made a lentil soup last week, but I'll be making another batch very soon. And yes, I just subscribed.
Made this in the three quart instant pot. Just halved all the ingredients for the six quart recipe. Very good and to paraphrase a slogan used by brand name, it’s a meal that will definitely satisfy any appetite. Thanks for all the hints and tricks that make this recipe a keeper.
I just found your video site. I was looking for a lentil soup recipe, and it is in my IP now. It smells amazing. I ran out of basil, so I added a little more oregano. I had carrots and celery in the fridge that had to be used ASAP. Also, I added mushrooms that had to be used. I just had oral surgery, so I plan to puree the soup in my Vitamix before adding the spinach. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! Using my wife's instapot for the first time and was clueless.. now its my second time watching, had to come back cause I forgot how to do this, haha. Great venting tip btw 🙌
BTW, thank you for the tip about venting the IP outside. I just did this on my deck, and it worked very well! My house won't smell like garlic and onions for days.
I don't have the Instant Pot but I will purchase one and I love lentils and I will be using lots of your recipes because I eat all the food I've seen you make. It will not take me as long when I get the instant pot. I can put all the ingredients into one big pot. Thanks for your cooking classes.
I am making my first batch of lentil soup. Honestly I was nervous. I did do the three cup of water pressure test first. I watched unboxing videos too. I sautéed in it then added my beans and liquid wallah!! I did learn you need at the least one cup of fluid everytime you cook.
Delish! Made mine SoCal style topped with some crumbled Cojita, chopped cilantro and sliced avocado. (Cojita is a salty crumbly Mexican cheese.. can use feta if you don’t have Cojita on hand. 😋😋
New to your channel...Watched your video yesterday, bought the green lentils today and made the soup! Absolutely delicious! Plenty left to freeze for another day!😋 Bought a slow cooker recently, so I'll be looking at your sc recipes. Thank you.
I love your recipes! I make your banana and zucchini bread recipes all the time- and it sounds like this lentil soup will be another good one as well. Thank you!
In addition to learning your lentil soup recipe, I have learned so many tips that really will help me a lot. Great job! Liked and subscribed to your channel. Eager to learn more from you.
Excellent use of damaged vegetables. Just know that they will make the soup thinner. It might be good to add a cup of brown rice to soak up some of the liquid.
Delicious! God bless you for sharing this beautiful recipe. My husband and I are gradually switching to plant based diet and this recipe will make it a much easier and tastier process 😅 ps. I'm new to instant pot and was wondering how to warm up food in it that's been in the fridge previously?
You can refrigerate food in the stainless steel insert with a silicone lid. Then just place insert pot right in instant pot and press saute. Stir like you would on the stove. And if it's not soup, add a splash of water if food seems to burn a bit. That's it. I do it all the time.
So happy I found your channel, I'm Russian and from Ukraine also! Dill, garlic and onion on everything...yummm! Already made a few of your recipes! Thank you!
@@ifoodreal Yes, we are praying for the people of Ukraine. Please Lord Jesus, help and protect them and give them Your strength and Your peace as they walk through these terrible times.
My instant pot is next to the stove. I bought a small “L” shape PVC pipe I put over the valve during release. I just turn the stove vent on and point the pipe toward the vent.
This looks so good. I’m going to try it this afternoon. I recently got an instant pot and I’m so thankful I found your channel and website. I found it because Jinger Vuolo (from TLC Counting On) linked one of your lentil recipes on her Instagram page. Thank you!! I’ll leave a rating after I try your recipes. I’m sure they are 5 stars! One question. I read that soaking black beans before you cook them make them gentler on the stomach/digestion. So even though you don’t have to soak black beans (in your black bean recipe), do you think it would be gentler on the stomach (for my kids) to soak them first?
Oh, perfect!!! Let me know how you like it. Now this explains one day I had crazy explosion of visitors on this lentil soup through IG and couldn’t figure out where from. Haha. Thanks for letting me know the details. I am always curious how people find me. Enjoy the soup! So about black beans. Yes, I noticed if you soak black beans it’s easier on our stomachs. It’s true. Less gas sorry lol. But then I haven’t tried cooking soaked black beans in IP. Not sure the time. Maybe google.:)
Hours ago before this comment came, i thought of an alternative to instant ramen which is instant Lentil Soup because beans are cheap and healthier than over salted noodles

The manufacturing instructions are pretty clear on not moving it while it's still acting as a pressure vessel. Otherwise thanks for the video
Welcome. :)
What kind of kettle do you use for this video if you wouldn’t mind sharing

iFOODreal - Healthy Instant Pot Recipes Just cook black beans for two minutes , one cup, and it’s the same as soaking over night.
I making right now Lentil soup is very different .
Hours ago before this comment came, i thought of an alternative to instant ramen which is instant Lentil Soup because beans are cheap and healthier than over salted noodles
Good video. I gave it a thumbs up. That being said, why is this a 14 minute video?!
That's how life happened that day. :)
How can this be made for 2? Ty
You can cut ingredients in half but keep same cook time. Enjoy!
NO manual -
should I use the "slow cook" or "pressure cook"
Pressure cook.
So if you bring the water to a boil before adding it to the instant pot, does that make it an instant instant pot?
Awesome! Subscribing.
