Preparation
Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, carrots and celery for 6 minutes. If using instant pot use the sauté function for 6 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until lentils are cooked through. If you are using the instant pot cook on high pressure for 15 minutes and let the instant pot natural release for 10 minutes.
Serving suggestions
Serve with desired toppings (I like coconut yogurt and pumpkin seeds).
