SAUSAGE AND LENTIL SOUP
SERVES 4
Ingredients
3-4 Cups Dried Lentils
1-2 Cups Chopped Sausage (any sausage to
your liking)
2 Cups Crushed Roasted Tomatoes
1 Cup Mirepoix (chopped mixture of celery,
carrots and onions.)
4 Garlic cloves, minced
Directions
-
Follow the "BROWNING" instructions in this manual: sauté the mirepoix and garlic until they
are fragrant. Cancel "BROWNING."
-
Add remaining ingredients into the cooking pot. Shut lid and lock properly into position.
Adjust the Pressure Valve to "Airtight". Program pressure cooker for 15-minutes.
-
When the cook time is complete and it's ready to release the pressure, make sure you are
careful. Since it's a big pot of soup, there may be some spitting at the pressure valve when
you turn it to exhaust. Sometimes a folded up dish rag or towel over the valve will help.
-
When it is safe to open the lid, give the soup a good stir. It may appear a bit watery but
depending on if you want to keep it more on the brothy side or you want to thicken it a bit,
you can thicken it by mixing a bit of the broth liquid with flour until it becomes a thick roux
and pour the roux back into the soup and stir it. Season with salt and pepper to your
preference. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain greek yogurt.
2 Bay Leaves
2 Tbsp Beef Buillion (Or 2 Cups Beef Broth)
6 Cups Fresh Water (Less or more
depending on the size of your pressure
cooker.)
Salt & Pepper to taste
