Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1 cup chopped yellow onion
-
1 cup chopped carrots
-
1 cup chopped turnip
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
-
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
-
2 cups brown lentils, rinsed
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
5 cups fresh baby spinach
-
1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-
3 radishes, cut into matchsticks
-
¼ cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Directions
-
Select Sauté setting on a programmable pressure multicooker (such as an Instant Pot; times, instructions and settings may vary according to cooker brand or model). Select High temperature setting and allow to preheat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the cooker; heat until shimmering. Add onion, carrots, turnip and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, lentils and salt.
-
Press Cancel. Cover the cooker and lock the lid in place. Turn the steam release handle to Sealing position. Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting. Select High pressure for 10 minutes. (It will take about 10 minutes for the cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.)
-
When cooking is complete, carefully turn the steam release handle to Venting position and let the steam fully escape (float valve will drop; this will take about 5 minutes) before removing the lid from the cooker. Stir in spinach and vinegar.
-
Toss radishes and parsley with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Ladle the soup evenly into 6 bowls; top with the radish mixture.
Tips
To make ahead: Prepare through Step 3 and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months. Reheat in microwave or on stovetop and continue with Step 4 just before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
