Instructions

  3. Add vegetable broth, sweet potatoes, lentils, water, and tomatoes. Stir.

  5. When electric pressure cooker beeps, let the pressure come down naturally in the Warm setting.
  6. Carefully open lid. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Season to taste with black pepper and serve.

Notes: To make this recipe on the stovetop, follow steps 1-3, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium, cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and lentils are cooked, stirring occasionally. Add spinach and stir until wilted, then serve. The consistency of the soup will differ depending on cooking method.
