    Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot.

    Pour in water and lentils. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

    Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in chard; cover soup and let sit until chard wilts, about 5 minutes. Uncover and stir in juice of 1 lemon.

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Cut the second lemon into wedges and serve alongside.
