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.
