Soul Warming Lentil Soup

the picture doesn't do it justice, I promise.

This is such an effortless, nutritious soup, I'm always tempted to make extra and freeze it, but it's just too easy to make, it's not worth the freezer space.

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil

1 x onion chopped (any kind)

2 tbsp Ginger minced

1 tbsp garlic minced

1 tbsp curry powder

3 tsp salt (approx.)

2 cups brown or red split flat lentils rinsed

6 cups water

1 tbsp lemon/lime juice

Garnish:

Dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream

Chopped fresh chilies, cilantro/coriander, olive oil to garnish (optional)

Method:

Saute mode on instant pot.

Add a few tsp of vegetable oil and heat up

Add onion, ginger, garlic, curry powder and saute for a minute.

Add lentils and water, stir, cover and switch Instant Pot to:

Pressure Cook mode for 10 minutes, then 10 min natural release.

Open, stir, add lemon/lime and salt.

Serve in bowls, and garnish with yogurt, chilies, cilantro, squeeze of lime/oil, get creative.

DONE!

Serving notes: I eat BOWLS of this at a time but I find I still have plenty left over and end up freezing it. Try cutting recipe in half if just for two people, portion control and all that...
