    I love lentils and lentil soup. One of my staples is this Chicken and Lentil Soup made with green lentils. This Persian recipe, which I recreated from a meal I had at a Persian restaurant is amazing, a new favorite! Directions included for stove or Instant Pot!,Alt=,I tested this recipe a few times to get the consistency just right on the stove and in the Instant Pot. Since I had so much soup, my daughter Karina brought some to her boyfriend and he went crazy over it! Since I made so much, I froze the leftovers so now I have soup for another night. This tastes just as good heated up for leftovers the next day.,For a thicker soup, puree half of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier texture.,Anytime I convert a stove top recipe to the Instant Pot, use 1/4 cup less broth since there is no evaporation.,Lentil Bowls with Avocado, Egg and Cholula,Asparagus with Green Lentils and Poached Egg,Creamy Lentil Soup,Lentil Salad,Lentils and Rice with Bacon and Egg
