Spicy Instant Pot Coconut Lentil Soup Quick Delight
This spicy soup is a joy to make. You only need a few simple steps. First, gather your ingredients. For this soup, you will need:
- 1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1-2 green chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
What do you do first? Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode. Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes. Wait until the onion is soft and smells good.
Next, stir in the grated ginger and sliced green chilies. Then add the diced carrot and bell pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes. This step adds great flavor.
Now, it’s time for the spices. Add ground cumin, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well and cook for one minute. This toasts the spices and brings out their flavors.
After that, pour in the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Stir to combine everything. Make sure the lentils are under the liquid.
Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' for 15 minutes. Once done, let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. Then, do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Open the lid and give the soup a good stir. Season with salt and pepper as you like. If it's too thick, add more broth or water.
Serve your soup hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy this quick delight!
