VEGETARIAN LENTIL TORTILLA SOUP (INSTANT-POT + SLOW COOKER) #glutenfree #vegetablerecipes

It channels the kind of my go-to tortilla soup consummately, with the special reward of additional veggies, additional vegetables, and a twirl of richness that makes this simple, consistently supper soup feel like a sumptuous liberality. With respect to the remains, yowza! I'm joyfully scarfing an extra bowl of this Vegetarian Lentil Tortilla Soup while composing this, truly! The flavors blend and jingle and it's outright enchantment.

You ought to thoroughly anticipate catching a bowl to take to work/school the following day and another to combine with a mushy quesadilla for supper. You can even reserve a bowl or two in the cooler for warmth and eat "inexpensive food" without the object OR the scrappy fixings.

It's likewise an extraordinary use for protecting each one of those broken tortilla chips at the base of the pack. Rather than hurling those crispity crunchity morsels, use them as a scrumptious soup topper! This simple peasy formula yields 6 measures of flavor. That is sufficient for 6 side-dish measured servings or 3 major dishes! Pair it with your most loved Mexican fundamental (anything from tacos to enchiladas to burritos) or a crisp plate of mixed greens for a delightful supper that won't disillusion.
