Ingredients

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.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pour the olive oil in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add the onion, frozen vegetables, garlic, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Crumble the ground beef on top. Pour the vegetable broth over these ingredients.

Add the salt, pepper, thyme, basil and parsley. I don't stir the soup so the tomato paste doesn't stick to the bottom.

After the steam has released remove the lid carefully and let cool a bit before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make this soup in an Instant Pot?

This soup is super simple to make in your Instant Pot! I literally put all the ingredients in and then set manual pressure for 24 minutes. The meat goes in raw and comes out tender and juicy.

I put the ingredients into the Instant Pot and then set to cook while I do my evening exercise or clean my kitchen. By the time I'm done dinner is ready!

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.
