- Add 3 cups of vegetable broth and drained red lentils. Cover pressure cooker with lid and lock in place. Cook on High for 8 minutes.

- Ladle warm soup into serving bowls. Garnish with sliced spring onions and chili oil, if desired.
This recipe uses red miso paste, also labeled as “aka miso.” This produces a prominent, rich flavor. If you want a milder tasting miso, you can substitute white miso (“shiro miso”).
If using a conventional large saucepan, cook lentils and broth ingredients for 30minutes or until lentils are tender.
