Instructions
- Select sauté on your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Once it says “HOT,” add your italian sausage to the pot and cook until brown, breaking up the meat in the process.
- Add the onion, celery, carrot, zucchini, and garlic cloves and stir until vegetables soften a little, about 3 minutes.
- Press “Cancel” to turn of the Instant Pot. Add the chicken broth, lentils, dried basil, and oregano to the pot and stir.
- Pour diced tomatoes on top of the mixture. Cover Instant Pot and Pressure Cook on High Pressure for 15 minutes.
- When timer is up, allow to natural release for 10 minutes, then release remaining pressure.
- Add fresh parsley and stir. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with sour cream or parmesan cheese.
Notes
Notes on Pressure Cooker Lentil Soup
- You can substitute dried parsley for the fresh. Sub it by using 2 Tbsp rather than 1/4 cup and add it when you add the other dried herbs. I just find that fresh parsley adds so much more flavor.
- This soup is great for leftovers.
