Lentil Soup in just seven minutes in the pressure cooker.

2 cups dried lentils, picked over, rinsed
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 / cup white wine
2
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Sour cream, for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Add the lentils, bay leaf, garlic, onion, oil, wine and stock to the cooker. Lock lid in
place and set pressure to Soup for 7 minutes (see pages 7-8 for instructions).
Quick-release pressure. Check to make sure the lentils are done. If not, relock lid and
return to full pressure, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Season to taste.
Serve in bowls with a dollop of sour crème. Yummy!
Curried Lentils
Lentils are an inexpensive (and protein packed) legume that don't have a very
pronounced flavor. This recipe gets a major boost in the taste department with a good
amount of curry. Serve them up as a vegetarian entree or the perfect side for any meal
that could use a little pick me up.
2 cups dried lentils
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 teaspoons chicken base
1 large onion, chopped
Rinse the lentils in a colander, picking through them to make sure there are no stones or
other objects. Add all ingredients to pressure cooker, stir and securely lock on lid. Set the
cooker to Vegetable and cook for 7 minutes.
Perform a quick release to release the pressure and remove the lid. Test lentils for
doneness. If not to your liking, re-lock the lid and cook on Vegetable for another 2
minutes. Salt to taste and serve with a slotted spoon.
For a spicer curry, try adding a teaspoon of chili powder and ground ginger. For even
spicer yet, throw in a pinch of cayenne pepper.
