PRESSURE COOKER LENTIL SOUP
I love my pressure cooker and it makes such tasty dishes in no time at all. The original recipe cooking time for this was 25 minutes, but since I live at 5,000 ft. above sea level I upped the time to cook this to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. In the pressure cooker, sweat the onion and garlic in grapeseed oil until the onions are translucent.
- 2. Add the carrots and celery and saute for a minute or two.
- 3. Add the ground cumin and stir well.
- 4. Add the broth, lentils and bay leaves. Close the pressure cooker and bring up to pressure.
- 5. Cook for about 25 minutes. If you live at a higher elevation then read the description as to how to adjust your cooking time. I had to do mine at least 30 minutes to compensate for the altitude.
- 6. Release the steam from the pressure cooker by the quick release method. This means putting it in the sink and running a small stream of water on the lid, but check with your pressure cookers instructions first. You can also let the pressure come down on it's own as well.
- 7. Remove the bay leaves. If using the spinach add it to the soup and stir until it wilts, this should take only a few minutes. The heat from the soup will wilt it very easy. Same if you use stinging nettles, it wilts easy also.
- 8. Season with salt and pepper if you like.
- 9. Enjoy!
