Notes
Storage
Fridge – Allow your pressure cooker easy carrot and lentil soup to cool. Then pour into containers, seal and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezer – Once cold, pour your soup into containers, seal and freeze. It will keep for up to 6 months. Reheating – Defrost soup in the fridge overnight, or on the kitchen counter for a few hours. Reheat your carrot and lentil soup in a pan on the stove top, or in the microwave. When using the microwave, I like to use a Pyrex-style jug for convenience.• Please note that the nutrition information provided below is approximate and meant as a guideline only.
