Time 54m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) package tofu
4 cups tomato puree
2 cups dry red lentils, soaked in water overnight and drained
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
½ cup almond milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat and saute garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tofu and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate.
  • Pour tomato puree, lentils, and cilantro into the pressure cooker, reserving 2 tablespoons cilantro for garnish. Stir in vegetable broth and 3/4 of the tofu.
  • Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound, about 10 minutes. Adjust temperature until regulator is gently rocking. Cook on low heat for 23 minutes. Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.
  • Remove 1 1/2 cups of lentils from pressure cooker with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add almond milk and puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Add the reserved lentils and remaining tofu back to soup and mix. Ladle soup into soup bowls. Garnish with reserved 2 tablespoons cilantro.

I would give this recipe a 2 out of 5 stars. It was too spicy and bland.

This recipe is a waste of time. The soup was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I'm going to try making it again and see if I can get it right.

The soup was a little too thick for my taste. I added some more water and it was perfect.

This soup is a little bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

The soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some yogurt.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a great source of protein and fiber.

This is the best lentil soup I've ever had. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the soup is so comforting.

I love the addition of coconut milk in this recipe. It gives the soup a creamy and rich flavor.
