How To Make Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Mushroom Soup

Turn the Instant Pot saute setting on and melt the butter. Add the diced onions and sliced celery to the Instant Pot and saute for about 3 minutes or until the onion starts to turn translucent.

Next, add the sliced portabello mushrooms and wild rice to the Instant Pot.

Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot and stir to combine the ingredients. Place the lid on the Instant Pot securing it and setting the valve to the sealing position.

Cook the Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Mushroom Soup following the directions below.

Once the Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Mushroom Soup has finished pressure cooking carefully remove the lid.

Remove the cooked chicken from the Instant Pot and place it in a bowl.

Use two forks to pull the chicken meat apart into bite-size pieces. Pour the shredded chicken meat into the Instant Pot.

In a small bowl mix the water with the cornstarch until lump free.

Add the cornstarch slurry to the Instant Pot and mix until combined.

Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting and bring to a boil, stirring. Boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Helpful Tips for making Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Mushroom Soup

• You can use skinless boneless chicken thighs in place of the boneless chicken breasts.
• I used baby Portabellas mushrooms but you could, of course, use any sliced mushrooms.
• I like to add cornstarch as a thickener for most of my soup recipes. It adds a little thickness to the soup broth. If you enjoy a clear soup broth you can skip that step.
