Red Lentil Soup
Nothing is better than a nice bowl of soup on a cold winter day, especially a soup so simple that your kids will enjoy it too. Red lentil soup is a quick soup made with ingredients often found in the pantry. Lebanese children are often lucky to eat this as one of their first foods. Traditionally made on the stove top, this instant pot version is quicker for all those working parents.
