    Ingredients

    • Olive Oil
    • Yellow Onion
    • Celery
    • Carrots
    • Frozen Corn
    • Dried Parsley
    • Dried Thyme
    • Sea Salt
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Chicken Breast
    • Chicken Broth
    • Gluten Free Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Buttermilk
    • Egg
    • Parmesan Cheese

    Instructions

    In the bowl of your Instant Pot pour the olive oil. Add the onion, celery, corn, carrots, parsley, thyme, sea salt, black pepper and chicken. Pour the chicken broth over top.

    Place your lid on your Instant Pot and make sure it's sealed. Use the Manual setting to cook the soup for 15 minutes.

    When the soup is done let the steam release naturally.

    While the steam is releasing mix up your biscuits in a mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, sea salt, black pepper, buttermilk and egg. Beat with a mixer or by hand until combined.

    After your Instant Pot has released the steam take the lid off and push the saute button. Stir the soup to break up the pieces of chicken.

    Once the soup is boiling drop the biscuits in one heaping tablespoon at a time around the surface of the soup. Once all the biscuit dough is in the soup shut off the Instant Pot and place the lid on without sealing it. Let the soup with the biscuits sit for 5 minutes. This will allow the biscuits to cook in the boiling soup.

    Remove the lid and serve the soup hot. I like to serve with some parmesan cheese grated on top.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I have to use chicken breast in this recipe?

    No, this recipe for gluten free Instant Pot chicken and dumplings calls for chicken breast, but it's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Whether you have a leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken breasts from the night before they will work in this soup.

    At Thanksgiving this soup is my favorite way to use up leftover turkey. We can have turkey dinner and then turkey and dumplings soup the next day. I'm usually feeling like something lighter to eat, so this works perfectly.

    Can I make gluten free biscuits for chicken and dumplings from scratch?

    Yes! They are so easy to make. I place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix with my hand held blender. If they are too dry I add a splash more buttermilk. The best part is they are ingredients you may already have on hand or can get at your local grocery store.

    Top Tip

    I'm always looking for meals that are simple to make and I can have done quickly. I know I test recipes and write about food, but honestly making dinner is my least favorite thing to do. I try to make enough to have leftovers, but that still means every other day I need to come up with something for us to eat.

    It can be exhausting! That's why I love a quick Instant Pot meal. I can have the soup cooking while I get some other things done and then all I need to do is mix up the biscuits to plop on top.

    FAQ

    What soup broth is gluten free?

    Most chicken, beef and vegetable broths are gluten free. Always check the label, but a true broth shouldn't include ingredients with gluten. If you are using bouillon in your recipe be sure to check the ingredients carefully. Most bouillon does contain gluten!

    How can I thicken soup without gluten?

    You can use gluten free flour, arrowroot powder, tapioca powder or cornstarch to thicken a gluten free soup. In a small bowl mix the thickener with some water before pouring into your soup so it doesn't clump.

    If the soup is thicker than you would like the next day add some more vegetable broth before you heat up the soup in the microwave or on the stove top.

    Add the bay leaves on top. Put the lid on your instant pot and using the manual setting cook for 30 minutes.

    Let the steam release naturally. Remove the lid and let the soup cool slightly before serving.

    The soup will thicken quite a bit as it cools.

    Top Tip

    I love a simple and quick soup for my lunches. This gluten free vegetarian instant pot split pea soup is easy to make and delicious. I like to make this soup while meal prepping and then store servings in containers in my refrigerator or freezer for that week's lunches.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are split peas?

    They are green peas that have had the outer skin removed so they split into two pieces. They can be found in bags in the bean section of your grocery store.

    Do split peas need to be soaked?

    Yes, for this recipe to turn out correctly the split peas will need to be soaked. If you don't soak the split peas they may still be hard or chewy in your soup. You will notice after soaking them overnight they take on liquid and increase in size.

    Can I freeze split pea soup?

    Yes! This soup is great for freezing and reheating. Freeze the soup in freezer safe containers or bags for up to 1 month. Defrost and then reheat the soup on your stovetop or in the microwave.
