This turned out awesome for me. No mushiness. I have neuropathy, so on days where my hands hurt too much, I use a bag of frozen peas and carrots as a substitute. Perhaps the mushiness has to do with sautéing the veggies beforehand? I also microwave any liquids that I add to instant pot meals as this speeds up pressure time.

I make this soup with Italian sweet sausage and Swiss chard, it was excellent!

Really tasty I traded out 2 cups of broth for tomato sauce, used a lentil mix, and sautéed the aromatics first. So easy thank you!

Thus was simple and delicious!  Only added one extra can tomatoes and more carrots.  Served with kielbasa on the side, I’m vegan, but my family liked the addition.

I found this soup to be very bland, and the spinachruined it for me. I would attempt this again, but I think I would add a lot of more veggies, and add chiffonade kale instead of the spinach. I also need to figure out what seasonings to add to give this dish some flavor.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. I added some pasta for my son and he loved it.
great wholesome recipe!

Perfect recipe.  Dinner was so fast, economical and nutritious.  I used kale because it was on hand.  Yum!

Delicious and oh so easy. I sautéed the veggies with the Italian seasoning to develop the flavours then added the rest of the ingredients. I used 4 1/2 c. of broth and pressure cooked it for 19 min with quick release. I might add a little more broth next time.

Made this to freeze for later. My daughter took a taste and the entire pot was gone by the next evening. Never made it to the freezer. Family loved it. And, I doubled the recipe. My daughter is vegan so we skipped the cheese and I used a combo of homemade mushroom and veggie broth.

Absolutely delish!  I also, like other reviewers,  used a full pound of lentils doubling the recipe.  I more than doubled the carrots, celery and garlic.  This is a new fall favorite for sure.  Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Great recipe!! I added mushrooms as well and it turned out great! Will be making again

Absolutely delicious!
This is my very first recipe I have made in my instant pot. I’m new to instant pots so I was skeptical that this would cook in 18 minutes without soaking the green lentils overnight. It did. I must agree with other comments that the lentils were overcooked. Next time I will decrease the time. I added an extra carrot, 2 extra stalks of celery and 3 extra cups of spinach. I like thick soup and this was perfect.

well- it was a first for me- so I sautéd veggies as the reviews suggested - and then followed the rest of the recipe— but when we returned from our family jog— we had the burn warning and were a bit nervous to open it— we had no liquid remaining- so it wasn’t in soup form- more of a lentil side... as far as flavor is concerned -it was delicious (I just carefully scraped the top layer to serve (my kids have endured worse:) - but did anyone else have an issue with insufficient liquid? Or... just me?

Just tried this and it's pretty tasty. The flavor reminds me of cabbage soup. My only critiques would be that it needs a kick of spice and I could do without the spinach.
