Our Instant Pot has been staying at work longer than required to keep us nourished and warm with an assortment of curries, stews, bean stews and soup – I am beginning to grasp why a few people have upwards of three weight cookers in a hurry immediately.

Furthermore, I have another soup fixation – Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Red Lentil Soup. OMG it is great to such an extent that even my significant other who thinks soup 'isn't nourishment' came around. Have made this infant twice in under seven days, that is the means by which yummy it is. 😋

I discussed a considerable amount about what to name it before thinking of this significant piece of a title… Is it a sweet potato soup? Truly… But it is additionally a red lentil soup AND a chickpea soup thus every one of the three needed to take top charging at last. Tally your fortunate stars I didn't include any more fixings!
