Lentil Dal Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 ½  cups brown or green lentils rinsed
  • 2  onions (small or 1 large) chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 to 1 ½ Tbsp curry powder
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1 Tsp paprika

  2. Cook for 12-15 minutes. 
  3. Release any pressure after 15-20 minutes.
     

Notes

  • Adjust ginger, curry, cumin or paprika to your own individual taste preference.
  • This makes about 12-14 cups of soup.
