Cream of Lentil Soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Brown or green lentils work best as they hold their shape during cooking. Red lentils will create a mushier texture but are still tasty. Avoid using French lentils (Puy) as they take longer to cook and stay firmer.
This recipe is naturally vegan as written. Just double-check that your vegetable oil is plant-based (most are) and ensure your tomato paste doesn't contain any hidden dairy or animal products.
Use an immersion blender directly in the pot for easiest cleanup. If using a stand blender, fill only halfway, remove the center lid piece, and cover with a towel to prevent steam pressure buildup. Blend in batches if needed.
Absolutely! Freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. The texture may thicken when frozen - thin with a splash of water or veggie broth when reheating.
Substitute with 2 tbsp tomato purée, ¼ cup crushed canned tomatoes, or 1 tbsp ketchup (though this will add sweetness). The soup will still be delicious without it, just slightly less rich.
Store cooled soup in an airtight container for 4-5 days. The flavors often deepen and improve after 1 day. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if too thick.
Try a drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, crispy croutons, fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), a dollop of yogurt, or toasted pumpkin seeds for contrasting texture.
Yes! Sauté veggies using the Sauté function. Add remaining ingredients (reduce water by ½ cup). Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes, natural release 5 minutes, then blend.
Add ¼ tsp red pepper flakes when sautéing veggies, stir in 1 tsp harissa paste with tomatoes, or garnish with hot sauce. A pinch of smoked paprika also adds nice depth with heat.
