  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Heat olive oil in the pot.

  4. 4 Meanwhile, spread pita squares on a lined baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and season with salt.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 8 minutes.
  6. 6 Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Stir in juice of 1 lemon.
