Well, I love Amy's soup. However, it is quite pricy and comes with so little. This recipe is my take-on Amy's Golden Lentil Soup. Thick, hearty, silky, and full of flavor, this is one of my very favorite soup recipes. You can cook with rice cooker, pot/stove top, instant pot, or slow cooker, whatever you have! I like to have this soup with a slice of crusty homemade bread and/or salad.

Step 2

Add in diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Next add in garlic, ginger, and crushed seeds and cook for 2 minutes.

Return to a boil, cover and turn down to a low boil ( for a pot on the stovetop) and cook for 30-45 minutes depending on what cookery you are using. If use an instant pot or rice cooker, use soup setting to cook. Before removing from heat, test a yellow pea - it should be tender. If not cook another 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Puree in a blender until smooth or use an immersion blender while in the saucepan.
