Change the settings to soup and stew. Make sure the venting is closed. It takes about 2 hours from pressurizing to venting.

Can I freeze this dish?

Yes, you can freeze this Kielbasa and Lentil Soup Recipe! After you finish cooking it let it cook for a bit. Place it in a 1-gallon freezer bag and lay flat on a baking sheet until frozen. Then, place it standing up in the freezer to save space. Let defrost in the freezer and place in a saucepan to reheat when ready to eat.

**AD**Make it yours with reCap mason jar lids.

Here is the finished dish. It makes a good amount and is great for a family. We liked it for lunch the next day, too.

Kielbasa and Lentil Soup Recipe

Supplies used for this recipe.

I used an InstantPot so I could sauté the onions, carrots, and celery.

You can use a crockpot if you want. Visit our other recipe, SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE AND LENTIL STEW WITH HERBED POLENTA, for another variation.

Substitutions in this recipe.

If you feel you just don't want kielbasa, you can make this recipe without it.

When to make an Instant Pot recipe?

Since InstantPots tend to take time to depressurize, it is more convenient to do it on a day when you will be around and do not want to eat too late at night. I prefer making InstantPot meals on a Sunday. So, Monday and usually Monday night, I don’t have to cook. It’s a great way to start the week.
