I have always loved stuffed cabbage, this is going to be epic!
Can’t wait to try this! Sounds so delicious!? ?
It’s 3° here today in the upper midwest and I have all of the ingredients to make this soup. I might also add a vegan parm to the top and will make a homemade bread in the bread maker.
Made this last night. I sautéed the onion and celery then dumped the rest in the instant pot and set it for 5 min. It was really good. Used regular soy sauce and added a bit more as our tastebuds have not yet adjusted to healthy plant based eating. Will be making this often. Thank you, Jill for all your recipes and the hard work you do in wanting viewers to be healthy. Looking forward to working on healthy in 2025.
Did you use a natural or quick release please? Thanks.
Deliciously nutritious!
I made this today because I had the ingredients but wasn’t expecting much. What a pleasant surprise! So comforting and satisfying. My belly is warm and happy.
Will this still work without soaking the lentils ahead of time? I’ve not seen that in a recipe before
You can but it takes the soup a lot longer to cook for the lentils to soften.
