So good! I love the cumin and thyme.

I used dry thyme, yellow instead of green lentils and added some cayenne pepper along with the red pepper flakes because I love spicy soup. I reduced the cook time by 10 min due to the yellow lentils, and it worked fine. I also added some fresh tomatoes and vegan Worchester sauce to enhance the umami flavor.
My family of four ate the whole thing 🙂

In reply to Kait. Hi Kait, they soften in the soup but I don't think they're too mushy.

Hi! I’m worried about carrots getting mushy. ( I like carrots that are still a bit firm.) Can anyone tell me if this happened doing the instant pot version? I’m wondering if I should just steam carrots separately in microwave and add at the end.
Thanks!

Wow! My 13 year old Granddaughters claim this is the best soup they ever had. I couldn’t give you a more positive review. Followed it to a T.

So good! Subbed rice vinegar and spinach. Perfect flavor and so easy in InstantPot!

I thought this was delicious! Instead of kale, I added half a bag of frozen peas and, after cooking, some frozen spinach greens. I also used 1.5 tsp dried thyme instead of fresh thyme… and I added the white wine and garlic in the middle of sautéing the carrots/celery/onion.. I was trying to make the white wine flavor more subtle and garlic more fragrant.
Next time I will try 1-1.25 cups lentils.

This soup is worthy to be on the menu every three weeks. The only adjustment I make is to cut down on the cook time to 10 minutes, which is plenty and in accordance with the InstyPot guide to cooking lentils. The cumin really rocks this dish!
