I found a recipe for spicy lentil soup. The original calls for 1 cup of cooked lentils, I prefer to do bulk cooking and freeze it so that I always have emergency food available. This is my recipe for the soup.

Spicy Lentil Soup

• 1/2 chopped onion
• 1 chopped red bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch fresh ginger grated
• 1 packet lentils (I used green) (Soaked overnight) 
• 1  packet frozen corn 
• 2 tablespoons of roasted red peppers
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon 
• 3 cups of vegetable broth. 
• Sauté:  garlic, ginger, onion and bell pepper.   When sautéed,  add the corn, lentils and seasoning.    Lastly I add the broth.   Stir all ingredients together then close the pot.
• I let it cook for 30 minutes in the instant pot.  Let it release naturally.  
• Can be served with rice, quinoa, or any whole grain.   I usually do wholegrain bread.

This is so delicious and filling. I have attached a photograph of mine. It barely made it out of the pot and I was devouring it. You could add potatoes if you want it a little thicker.
