Home, soothing and comforting is the best way to describe my Pressure Cooker Armenian Lentil Soup. Fragrant, spices, herbs and lentils, make this stew a "stick to your ribs" meal.
Select Sauté on Pressure Cooker cooking pot and allow pot to fully heat.
In the bowl of a Food Processor, add Onion, Bell Peppers, Garlic and process until chunky (or hand chop).
Add Oil and vegetables to cooking pot and Sauté for 5 minutes.
Chop tomatoes (using Food Processor) and add to cooking pot. Let cook down for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. You don't need to watch the pot during this time.
While the vegetables are simmering and reducing, gather the spices and set them aside.
When most of the liquid has evaporated from cooking pot, add rinsed Green Lentils, chopped Carrots and Sambal Oelek to cooking pot and Sauté for 2 minutes
Pour in Chicken Broth, Eggplant, Red Lentils and all seasonings and mix to combine.
