Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or coconut oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 carrots finely chopped
  • 2 ribs celery finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 large ripe tomato chopped
  • 2 apples peeled and diced
  • 1½ cups red lentils
  • 4½ cups vegetable stock or water
  • 15 ounce can coconut milk not light
  • lime juice to taste
  • fresh cilantro chopped
  • roasted cashews almonds or peanuts, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat a 6-quart multi-cooker using the BROWN or SAUTE setting.
  2. Add the oil and sauté the onion, carrots and celery until they start to become tender – about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, spices and salt and stir well. Sauté for a minute or two. (If your cooker doesn’t have a brown setting, use a skillet on the stovetop for the steps above and transfer the contents to the cooker now.) Stir in the tomato, apples and lentils and add the stock or water. Cover and lock the lid in place.
  3. Pressure cook on HIGH for 10 minutes.
  4. Release the pressure with the QUICK-RELEASE method and carefully remove the lid. Purée roughly half the mixture and return it to the pot. Stir in the coconut milk and season to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime. Thin the soup to your desired consistency with water.
  5. Serve with fresh cilantro and roasted nuts on top.
