Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

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
2 celery ribs, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped, or more to taste
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon allspice
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 ½ cups red lentils
2 lemons
2 pita bread, cut into squares
cooking spray
1 pinch salt

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.
