Curried Lentil Stew

This lentil soup has become one of my favorite recipes.  It's super easy to make, lightening fast in my electric pressure cooker, and I typically have all of the ingredients on hand.  It's also nice because, with the exception of the salt and pepper, every ingredient is easy to find organic!
