Steps:
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot. Add onion, potato, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cilantro, salt, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon on top; stir until fragrant.
- Pour in water and lentils. 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.
- Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in chard; cover soup and let sit until chard wilts, about 5 minutes. Uncover and stir in juice of 1 lemon.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Cut the second lemon into wedges and serve alongside.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water. Next time, I'll be more careful with the measurements.

[email protected]The soup was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh ones. Next time, I'll try using fresh tomatoes and see if that makes a difference.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this soup changed my mind. The lentils were cooked to perfection, and the chard added a nice touch of bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes. I'll definitely be making this soup again.
