Stuffed Pepper Soup is warm, comforting, and bursting with flavors. It is vegan and is made by adding bell peppers, rice, lentils, roasted & diced tomatoes along with some spices.
Press Saute and put oil in the Instant Pot. When the oil is hot then add onion, carrots, jalapenos, garlic, celery, and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft & tender.(Note: If you don't want the soup to be spicy, you can de-seed the jalapenos).
Add rinsed lentils, rice, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce along with stock/water in the pot. Add Italian seasoning, salt, Cayenne Pepper, and Thyme and stir.
Close the lid. With the vent in the sealing position, pressure cook at the high-pressure level for 10 minutes, followed by NPR.
When the pressure is released and the valve goes down, open the lid and mix everything properly. Add ¼ cup of lemon juice and mix until well combined.
Pour soup in a bowl and garnish some chopped bell peppers, parsley, and jalapenos and serve hot.
