Ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive Oil
6 Garlic Cloves minced
1/2 cup Celery diced
1 Red Bell Pepper seeded and diced
4 cups Carrots diced
1 lb Smoked Sausage sliced
2 cups Dried Lentils
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon Paprika
2 teaspoons Cumin
2 quarts Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 Beef Stock Cube optional
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

Set your Instant Pot to “saute” and add the Olive Oil, Garlic Cloves, Celery, Red Bell Pepper, and Carrots, cook for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Add the Smoked Sausage and continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the Instant Pot (Lentils, Worcestershire Sauce, Paprika, Cumin, Beef Broth, Stock Cube, Tomato Paste, Brown Sugar, Salt, and Pepper). Using the “manual” setting set the time to 15 minutes. Release all the steam once done and season with any additional spices.

Notes

Since the sodium is on the high end for this soup recipe you can omit to the beef stock cube to cut it down even more, and make sure to use low-sodium beef broth.
