Staying warm with this creamy and savory Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup. The ultimate comfort food soup. And it’s dairy free, gluten free and Whole30 compliant.
I’m not joking when I say I’m gonna eat soup every day until Spring. Cold weather makes me pull in, and hot, brothy soup is all I want to eat.
And I’m not kidding when I say that my Instant Pot is the most used appliance in my kitchen. It’s so simple to use and makes preparing soups so freaking quick and easy.
Chicken Pot Pie Soup has been on my list of soups to make for a long time. The hubby loves chicken pot pie, but I’m basically too lazy to make it. But I’m really good at making soup, so this one is for the hubs. A hearty comfort food soup that’s guaranteed to take the chill off the winter season.
Don’t have an Instant Pot? No worries, I included stove top and slow cooker instructions as well. 😉
Here’s the recipe deet:
❤️chicken… I use boneless skinless chicken breasts, but thigh meat would work just as well. You can also use chopped up leftover or rotisserie chicken.
❤️veggies… using all the usual suspects in this chicken pot pie soup: potatoes, carrots, and celery. You’ll notice that I slipped in some greens as well. Cuz you can never have too many greens in your diet.
❤️broth… y’all know by now that a good soup starts with a good quality broth. You can use a homemade bone broth, a homemade veggie broth, or Kettle and Fire (my absolute fav store-bought broth.)
❤️fresh herbs… turn a good soup into a fabulously amazing soup. You can’t beat the flavor of fresh herbs. I use fresh thyme and rosemary to really make the broth pop. I do use dried sage as it gives a richer flavor than the fresh leaves.
❤️the cream… the cream factor for this soup comes from pureeing a bit of the cooked potatoes with a cup of full fat coconut milk. This gives the PERFECT amount of creaminess to this savory and cozy soup. Feel free to use whatever milk makes you happy.
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup:
This hearty and satisfying soup is so easy prepare. I love that you can sauté right in the Instant Pot before turning it on to use as a pressure cooker. Simply chop you chicken and veggies, do a quick sauté on the SAUTE mode + 8 minutes on HIGH pressure, and then add your creamy base and greens. Quick enough to throw together on a busy weeknight when all you want to do is cover up with a soft blanket and hide from the cold.
So, I’m dedicating this recipe to the wintertime homebody that lives inside you. Because warm, nourishing soup is simply the BEST on a chilly night.
