We just got an instant pot and this was the first recipe we tried. I’ve never had taco soup before. It’s delicious and so easy! My husband who is a big meat eater loved it! I did put some “fake” style hamburger in it but we both thought it would be equally as good without it.

In reply to Seema. Sorry for my delay in response, I was out of town! Thank you for the sweet compliment on my other recipes! I hope that you love this one too! We sure do! You can use any type of taco seasoning. The gluten-free note is just for those who need it. Gluten often hides in taco seasoning, but if you don't have to worry about gluten, any type will do! I am not 100% sure on the lentils as far as adjustments. Any type should work, you don't need to presoak. I did some searching and it appears that it takes about 15 minutes on high pressure for lentils so that falls in line with the timing of this recipe (yay!) All the other pressure cooker soup recipes that I just looked up that had lentils also had 4 c of liquid. So I think the liquid would be fine, but if you want to error on the safe side you could bump it up by 3/4 of a cup. Then I would natural release this recipe in the IP for 10 minutes. Then once its open if its too liquidy you could use the saute option to really warm it up (while stirring a lot) to help "heat out" some of that liquid. If you are making on the stove, that is easier to "eye ball' the amount of liquid needed. Are you adding beans too? or just lentils? Can't wait to hear about it :)

I would like to make this soup- two quick questions-1) if I had the 1 cup of lentils- which one would go best, and then do I need to adjust the liquid to account for the additional lentils 2) can a non-gluten free taco seasoning be used also. your other recipes are fabulous- been wanting to try this one for a while and this Sunday is it

In reply to Joan Kurash. Hi Joan! I would saute the veggies first, then put all ingredients into the crockpot except the cheese. Then cook on low 4-6 hours (can probably stretch longer if you need but might need to add more liquid) Then when ready to eat stir in the cheese. That's how I would try it and adjust from there. Its a delicious soup, I hope that you enjoy!
