This healthy recipe for gluten free instant pot chicken and mushroom soup makes a quick weeknight meal. It's so easy to combine the ingredients in your pressure pot and have dinnner in under 30 minutes. The combination of chicken breasts, vegetables, spices and sour cream make this a creamy and delicious dinner option.
Can I put raw chicken in the instant pot?
Yes. For this recipe I cube the raw chicken and then put it in the instant pot to cook. There is no need to cook the chicken before adding it to the soup ingredients to cook in the pressure pot.
I like to cube the raw chicken so I don't have to shred the chicken in the hot soup. With the chicken breasts already cubed the soup is ready to serve when it's done cooking. I think it makes it so much easier.
How do I reheat soup in my Instant Pot?
The first night I make soup in my Instant Pot I let it cool completely. Then I put the lid on or plastic wrap over top and store it in the refrigerator. The next night when I want to reheat the soup I take it out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap.
I place the stainless pot back in my Instant Pot and put the lid on making sure it's set to sealed. Then I press the manual button and set the time for 3 minutes. The soup will heat up while it's coming to pressure and it only takes a short amount of time to have hot soup ready to serve.
Instant Pots and Accessories
How much liquid do you need in the instant pot for soups?
The official instant pot manual calls for at least 8 ounces or 1 cup of liquid for the instant pot to come to pressure. For this recipe you will be using 32 ounces of chicken broth. That is more than enough liquid for your pressure pot to work properly.
