\nThe first month of Spring feels rather wintery. As we transition into the warmer months, nourishing soups with earthy legumes and root vegetables provide just the substance that we need\u00a0to keep our bodies warm and healthy.<\/p>\n

I thought you might enjoy this recipe for a wholesome turmeric leek and potato soup with moong dal and red lentils <\/strong>that is made in the\u00a0pressure cooker<\/strong>\u00a0(or stove top). It is a little detour from the classic French leek and potato soup, also known as Vichyssoise, with the addition of a couple of spices that introduces some warm flavours and immunity boost. Moong dal and red lentils adds to the protein content while a just\u00a0 little coconut milk enhances the texture for a smooth silky soup that\u2019s immediately noticeable while still keeping it rather light.<\/p>\n

IF YOU DON\u2019T HAVE A PRESSURE COOKER, YOU CAN MAKE THIS RECIPE ON THE STOVE.<\/h4>\n

To make this soup on the stove, use a thick bottom pot with a lid. Follow the same procedure until you\u2019ve added the water. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat until the potatoes, moong dal and lentils are soft, about 30 – 40 minutes. Check often, add more water if needed and stir occasionally.<\/p>\n

Turmeric Lentil Leek and Potato Soup<\/h2>\n

Pressure Cooker Recipe<\/h3>\n

Ingredients<\/strong> (serve 4 – 5 as a main meal)<\/p>\n

6 – 7 medium (about 800 g) potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes)
\n1 leek, white part only – finely chopped
\n\u00be cup mixed red lentils and moong dal<\/a> (or just use red lentils), well rinsed and drained
\n5 sprigs fresh thyme
\n1 bay leaf
\n\u00bd teaspoon ground allspice (or \u00bc teaspoon cumin + \u00bc teaspoon cinnamon)
\n\u00bd teaspoon turmeric powder
\n1 vegetable stock cube (or use broth instead of water)
\n4 – 5 cups water (enough to cover the potatoes)
\n1\/3 cup coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)
\n1 tablespoon olive oil (or coconut\/vegetable oil)
\nSalt to taste
\n1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, reduce salt if using nutritional yeast)
\nFresh herbs like parsley or microgreens for garnish<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set the pressure cooker on the saute\/browning setting.<\/p>\n

Add the oil and allow to heat for about 10 seconds.<\/p>\n

Add the leeks and saute for about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

Add in the rest of the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Cancel the saute\/browning setting.<\/p>\n

Press the soup setting and adjust the time to 8 minutes. (Or set the pressure cooker on medium pressure\/temperature for 8 minutes).<\/p>\n

Place the lid on and close.<\/p>\n

Make sure the valve is in the closed position.<\/p>\n

Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure cooker stand for about 10 minutes then release the pressure valve. Wait until all the steam has escaped, and then carefully open the lid, shielding yourself from the steam.<\/p>\n
