Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion (diced) (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger (about 1 pinky-size piece ginger)
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 cups baby carrots or about 4 medium carrots (peeled and diced large) (about 2 cups total)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
3/4 cup dried split red lentils (rinsed well)
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
Fresh cilantro
Coconut milk
Smoked paprika
Cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Saute onion for 5 minutes
  • Hit the "Saute" button on your Instant Pot. Add olive oil. When hot, add the onions. Saute until transluscent, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and curry powder and cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the carrots, broth, lentils, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the release valve is in the "sealing" position. Press the "Manual" button and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  • The Instant Pot take about 10 minutes to warm up and then will start cooking. After the 10 minutes is up, quick-release by flipping the release valve to "venting" - a little at a time at first.
  • Once venting is complete, remove the Instant Pot lid. Let cool for a few minutes, then puree. You can either use a stick blender (also known as an immersion blender) or puree in batches in the blender.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Ladle into bowls, garnish if desired, and serve.
