Turmeric Lentil Leek and Potato Soup - Pressure Cooker Recipe
With a little twist from the classic Leek and Potato Soup, this wholesome pressure cooker soup features lentils for some added protein and warm spicy notes from turmeric. It comes ready in under 30 minutes and can also be made on the stove top.

Notes
To make this soup on the stove, use a thick bottom pot with a lid. Follow the same procedure until you’ve 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.Link to original recipe - Turmeric Lentil Leek and Potato Soup - https://veganlovlie.com/pressure-cooker-lentil-leek-potato-soup/
