Instructions

Instant Pot Soup recipes are some of the easiest homemade recipes to make. The soup ingredients cook in the pressure cooker in less than 30 minutes. And 15 minutes of that time is cooking the instant rice in the broth after the chicken has cooked.

Chicken and Rice Soup Ingredients before pressure cooking

Step 1: Put the chicken soup ingredients into the Instant Pot inner pot. The instant rice will be added after you have pressure cooked the boneless chicken in the soup broth.

You can use leftover cooked rice instead of instant rice for this recipe. Just add it to the pressure cooker after the chicken has cooked instead of the instant rice.

Step 2: When the chicken has finished pressure cooking remove the bunch of fresh thyme if you have used it and remove the chicken from the Instant Pot. Shred the cooked chicken meat and return it to the pot.

Step 3: Stir the instant rice or cooked rice into the soup broth and recover the Instant Pot. The heat from the hot broth and the inside of the Instant Pot will cook the instant rice or heat up the leftover rice in 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4: Serve the Chicken and Rice Soup when the rice is tender.
