Instant pot Vegetable Quinoa Lentil Soup

Rinse the lentils and quinoa under cold water and set aside.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Add the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed lentils and quinoa. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils and quinoa are tender.

Stir in the diced tomatoes and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Add the lemon juice and stir well to combine.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
