Instant Pot Red Lentil Sweet Potato Soup
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1/2 small onion
- 6 cups water or vegatable broth
- 2 cups red lentils
- 2 sweet potatoes, small cubed
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 hand full fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
- Peel onion, cut it in half and add a toothpick thru one half of it to keep it from falling apart in the soup. It will get removed later.
- Peel and crush garlic.
- In the Instant Pot add the lentils, sweet potatoes, water, the half onion, garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Put the lid on and cook on high for 15 minutes. Do a quick release once it's finished.
- While it's cooking, prepare the cilantro oil by putting a big handful of cilantro leaves into the blender along with olive oil. Blend well until all coriander is very small. Scraping might be necessary mid-through.
- Once soup is cooked, remove the half onion. Blend the remaining ingredients with an immersion blender or food processor and season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Serve in a bowl with a swirl of coriander oil and freshly ground pepper and fresh bread of your choice.
