As the weather gets colder, I gravitate to soups. This kielbasa and lentil soup is very rich in flavor and serving size for a large family. Follow along and see how I made this delicious lentil soup.

Here are all the prepared ingredients. They were super easy to put together.

I saute setting I added the olive oil to get hot. Then added the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in the InstantPot. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until tender.

Add the sliced kielbasa into the InstantPot. Stir until combined.

Now, add the rinsed lentils.

Then, add the chicken broth (measured out) and stir.

Add the diced tomatoes and stir.

Now, it is time to add the chopped frozen spinach and stir in.

Change the settings to soup and stew. Make sure the venting is closed. It takes about 2 hours from pressurizing to vented.

Here is the finished dish.

So is this one! We were able to eat it for a few days and was great during the cold weather.

  It probably will take 5-6 hours on low in a slow cooker.

  Making this in my soup pot on cooktop, works just fine, until lentils are done to taste.

  You can put it in a large sauce pan and let it cook for about 1 hour or so.
