I tend to make them more in the fall and winter when I am looking for something warm and hearty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Arabic lentil soup is my go-to soup, especially during winter. It&rsquo;s a perfect soup when I want something filling, and something diet-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This soup is a staple in Lebanese homes. You will also see this soup at most of the Lebanese restaurants on menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many versions of this soup. Some make it without carrots, others make it the rice. There is no right or wrong way of making it. Make the way your family enjoys it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am sharing the basic version. No cream or anything. But I do add some extra spices in there that I like. I always make a big pot of this Mediterranean lentil soup and it&rsquo;s on rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This soup is rich, comforting, and delicious and is super healthy with clean, wholesome ingredients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-do-i-love-this-lentil-soup-so-much\"   class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" ><strong>Why do I love this Lentil Soup so much?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Vegan, Low in calories, Easy to make<\/li><li>Made with staple ingredients<\/li><li>Completely utterly cozy and comforting!<\/li><li>So creamy without adding cream<\/li><li>It has lots of fibers, and it&rsquo;s high in proteins from the lentils<\/li><li>This soup gets done in less than 30 minutes.<\/li><li>The spices are highly customizable. You can add any veggies or greens of your choice.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ingredients-required\"   class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients required<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Lentils<\/strong> &ndash; Red lentils work best in this soup because they cook in less than 30 minutes without pre-soaking and have a great creamy texture.<\/li><li><strong>Vegetables <\/strong>&ndash; you&rsquo;ll need a mix of onion, carrots, celery stalks, and potatoes. We are using a potato to get a more creamy texture. You can skip if you don&rsquo;t want to use potatoes.<\/li><li><strong>Spices<\/strong> &ndash; I use a blend of ground cumin, black pepper powder, salt, and paprika powder for a bit of a kick.<\/li><li><strong>Vegetable stock<\/strong> &ndash; make sure the stock you&rsquo;re using is vegan and low sodium. You can add more or less than recommended in the recipe card below, depending on how thick you want the soup to be. You can also use water instead of stock.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3.jpg\" alt=\"pre-measured ingredients for instant pot lentil soup\" class=\"wp-image-18349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Lebanese-Lentil-Soup-3.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"step-by-step-process\"   class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step by step process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Heat oil in an instant pot on saut&eacute; mode.<\/li><li>Once the oil is hot, add onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes.
