Рецепт French Lentil Soup Instant Pot
How much do you love your Instant Pot?
French Lentil Soup can be made in 16 minutes cooking time in my Instant Pot, and it is so good I ate it for breakfast this morning !
This naturally creamy soup has a rich flavor and lots of healthy ingredients.It's naturally gluten free and plant based ( vegan) soup which is the first recipe of my 30 day plant based eating challenge.
Why I am eating vegan for 30 days!
You know I am always dieting. Despite relatively healthy menus , I still tend to be about 10-15 pounds overweight. The other day I met a beautiful woman named Monica who mentioned that she used to weigh 300 pounds.
She said that she had tried many diets, bypass surgery, and exercise but nothing seemed to work permanently for her until she decided to go on a plant based diet.
Of course I was intrigued and had to know how she did it. She said that she ate no meat, chicken, eggs or dairy. She did eat fish very very occasionally. And she assured me that she ate carbs- like potatoes, bread, rice etc.
She also wrote out a list of books that inspired and in some cases frightened her to change to a plant based diet.
Some reading Monica suggested:

I have read many books that support a plant based diet. Personally, I am a vegetarian but eat many plant based recipes. Today I am sharing a vegan and gluten free delicious French Lentil Soup Recipe.
