I love how simple this recipe is, all the other Instant Pot chicken soup recipes I've found online had a bunch of other steps including sauteing ingredients beforehand, cooking the chicken and vegetables separately, etc etc and the whole reason I got an Instant Pot was for the ease of just dumping everything in and letting it all cook together for a quick weeknight meal. I'm excited to try this, thank you :)

I can't afford boneless skinless chicken even thighs. I go to Walmart and buy 10lbs of leg quarters for less than $8. I separate the legs from the thighs and vacuum save until I need them and before I freeze them I can skin the pieces, but i like the small amount of oil from the skin anyway to do what soup is for and it moves the body to flush impurities out quickly when you aren't feeling well or have a cold. Even using chicken broth or bullion adds much more hearty flavor. Many do saute the meat and veggies before adding the liquid. Your recipe inspired me to create with your base recipe. Thanks

You certainty can, which will result in a darker color and bolder flavor. Be sure to scrape the bits off the bottom of pot/pan after browning, as you pour in the water. Those bits are called “fond” and have loads of flavor. Cheers!

Thank you your post! Iam asking a little clarification: when the timer reached 00 than you cancel the program right? Some cooker keep the temperature around 65-75 degree of Celsius after the timer off. But keeping the temperature means the pressure will not decrease. What I understood is when the program finished than cancel the auto temperature hold function and let it cool and decrease the pressure for an hour. In this way there is no need to manually open the pressure valve. But maybe I am not right. Thank you your reply in advance!

@IWantToCook Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching! So on my Instant Pot, when the timer reaches 00, it goes into a keep warm mode and there is no need to cancel. The pressure automatically releases (natural pressure release), and when the pin/valve drops, the lid can be removed. I think other electric pressure cookers work in a similar manner, but the Instant Pot brand is the only one I've used. If you have an electric pressure cooker that keeps cooking for some reason (rather than go into a keep warm mode) after the timer ends, then yes, you would need to cancel. Hope this helps!

@@IWantToCook Thank you your quick reply! Next time I will try not to cancel just left running the keep warm program and let see how long does it take to release the pressure.

@IWantToCook Жыл бұрын

I think the time should be fine, but I wouldn’t do the noodles. The reason is that the noodles will likely turn to mush, and also negatively effect the consistency of the broth. I recommend cooking the noodles separately and then adding before serving. Thanks for watching and happy cooking! 😀

Do you think using thighs WITH the bone would make a richer, better broth??

Yes, it certainly would. Where I live, it's hard to find bone-in thighs without the skin, so just be aware that you'll likely have to pull the skin off yourself if you don't want the extra fat. But you needn't throw them away; I cook them as cracklings as a very special treat for my dogs! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jriBhMmJnt7PomQ.html

It certainly does. Bones, especially, add depth of flavor and a more viscous nature to the broth. Sometimes I leave a bit of skin, but with too much I find the broth fatty for my tastes. Thanks for watching and happy cooking! 🙏

I’m making this soup now. However, I heard a funny noise coming from the kitchen (I’m a newbie). Guess who forgot to turn it to sealing? I did turn it when I discovered what was making the noise. I’m left wondering though how it’s going to turn out. Guess I’ll find out in about an hour. 😊

An electric pressure cooker like that Instant Pot really is a game changer. And please don’t worry; they are super safe. No stew on the ceiling. Here’s a video I did comparing the two: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr-bp9aVlp61c2Q.html

why would you use skinless boneless? you can use the skin and bones for broth flavoring. you can tell those carrots arent cooked fully

@IWantToCook Жыл бұрын

As it’s your meal and kitchen, you can use what you prefer. But in my experience I’ve found leaving the skin on can make the broth quite fatty. Using the bones is fine and will yield a thicker, more gelatinous broth if that’s what you prefer. But as this recipe is geared for ultimate ease, I opted for not picking out bones. And the carrots were great. Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏

Hi. Note that yes, some newer Instant Pot models do all this. I happened to buy this early model back in 2016 and it isn’t that sophisticated, yet still works wonderfully. Yes, it’s normal for some steam to escape before the seal, well, seals.

I do, and I appreciate the extra unctuous broth that comes from bones. But with this recipe I wanted something extremely approachable for first-timers, thus the omission of bone-in meat. By all means, feel free to substitute bone-in meat, but also tick up the cooking time to account for that longer-cooking process. Cheers!

@CurtisCT 11 ай бұрын

Dude, you gotta brown the chicken and vegetables in some olive oil BEFORE adding water to pressure cook. Browning deepens the flavor in ways you can't imagine. Also it should be a crime to cook chicken minus the bones - almost ALL the flavor from chicken comes directly from the bone, not from the muscle meat which has very little flavor of its own. Brown your chicken and veggies and aways cook chicken on the bone and your chicken soup will have a very deep and rich flavor that will knock your socks off!
