Instructions
Creating Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Sauté Vegetables: Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Add olive oil and let it heat. Sauté the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the pot. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot, ensuring the chicken is submerged.
4. Pressure Cook: Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 10 minutes.
5. Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure. Carefully open the lid.
6. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. If you prefer a thicker soup, mix cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it in.
8. Simmer: Let the soup simmer on the sauté mode for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
10. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
