Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 carrots, chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 ½ cups red lentils

  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and celery and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Combine lentils, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, garlic, thyme, salt, paprika, and black pepper in the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  2. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
