Soup Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 larger breasts)
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup carrot, cut into 1/4 inch thick small circles
  • 1 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
  • 2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (small potatoes)
  • 1 cup Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters (large potatoes for blending)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 3 cups chicken broth or bone broth (low sodium)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond milk, whole milk, or any milk)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot. Set your Instant Pot to the regular sauté function and add olive oil. Lightly sear the chicken breasts on each side for about 2 minutes. Remove the breasts to a plate and set aside; they won’t be fully cooked yet.
  2. Sauté vegetables. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, dried parsley, dried basil, and dried rosemary to the pot. Sauté for about 2 minutes until vegetables become slightly translucent. Stir in the small cut potatoes.
  3. Add chicken and broth. Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetable and potato mixture. Place the large potato quarters on top of the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth.
  4. Pressure cook. Seal the Instant Pot and set it to High Pressure (or Manual mode on older models). Cook for 9 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
  5. Remove large pieces. Open the pot and remove the large potato quarters and chicken breasts carefully.
  6. Blend for creaminess. Place the large potato quarters, milk, and about 1/2 cup of broth from the pot into a blender. Blend until smooth, then return this mixture to the pot.
  7. Shred chicken. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and shred into bite-size pieces. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
  8. Combine and serve. Stir everything until combined and smooth. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
  9. Alternate Crockpot method. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, dried parsley, dried basil, and rosemary for 2 minutes until translucent (optional). Layer raw chicken, cooked vegetables, and potatoes in the Crockpot. Pour chicken broth over and cook covered on low for 6 hours. Follow steps 5 through 8 as above to blend potatoes and shred chicken before serving.
  10. Alternate stovetop method. Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté vegetables and seasonings for 2 minutes. Add raw chicken, potatoes, and chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Proceed with steps 5 through 8 to blend potatoes and shred chicken before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any milk of your choice to make the soup creamy, including dairy-free options like almond milk.
  • Blending the large potato pieces with milk and broth creates a creamy, velvety texture without needing heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can reduce the amount of broth slightly or let it simmer uncovered to concentrate flavors.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted or adjusted according to preference.
  • This recipe is adaptable to multiple cooking methods, allowing you to choose based on your available equipment and time.
  • For a low sodium soup, use low sodium or homemade chicken broth.
