Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup

112 shares
Jump to Recipe -

This Instant Pot Creamy Chicken soup is definitely our new favorite soup! It’s thick, creamy, hearty, and delicious! And, not only is it quick to make in the Instant Pot, if you prefer, the recipe is easily adaptable for making in a slow cooker or even stovetop. Add some warm crusty bread and a side salad and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time at all. Instant Pot Creamy Chicken SoupI’ve been slow to adapt some of my cooking habits with the use of my Instant Pot. I’ve never felt intimidated by it, I just felt like I didn’t want or need another small kitchen appliance (although it’s actually quite large). However, I’m loving it for making soup, especially when I need to cook the chicken. This recipe has about a 30 minute cook time, and that doesn’t include to coming up to pressure. So, for an Instant Pot recipe, it isn’t the quickest.

If it’s not the quickest IP recipe, why should I use my IP for this recipe?

  • It would take at least 2-3 times longer on the stovetop and approx. 8 hours in a slow cooker (on low temp).

Some days, I want need hearty, delicious, and quick, and this soup didn’t disappoint! In fact, I made it twice, just to make sure we really loved it before I shared it.

Look how simple the ingredients are…. Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup

Aren’t there a lot of calories in heavy cream?

  • For those of you that are concerned about too many calories in a cream soup, you can easily substitute half or all of the heavy cream with half & half or whole milk. I actually used 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup 1/2 and half both times I made it. It was still very rich, creamy and delicious. Next time I’ll be trying it with cream and milk, which will cut the calories and fat a bit more. 

I love the Grandma’s Egg Noodles, and find them in the freezer section of Nob Hill. They’re a very thick noodle, which I love in a chicken soup, because they hold up well. Any egg noodle can be used in this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup. 

The recipe is as simple as:

  • Cook the chicken, chopped veggies, spices, and chicken broth in the IP.
  • Remove chicken and shred.
  • Add in flour/broth mixture to thicken soup.
  • Stir in cream.
  • Switch IP settings to saute feature and bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken and noodles, and cook until noodles are tender.

    My creamy chicken soup did not thicken when I put the mix of 1/3 cup flour with 1 cup flour to the boiling soup. Any advice?

I walked into Trader Joe’s the other day (with my granddaughter), and she quickly spotted a sign about their milkshake contest! “We have to do this Nana!” How could I say no to her enthusiasm as she quickly chose her shake ingredients. 
You’ll have to head over to her page @gigibeanblog to see what flavor she decided on. 
🍑🥤🍦🍑🍦🥤🍑
I decided on a Peach Ginger Shake! The rules state that you must use only five ingredients that you purchased at TJ’s and post your recipe. 
🍑🍦🥤🍑🥤🍦🍑
Peach and Ginger Shake
* 1 pint Southern Peach Crisp ice cream
* 1 fresh peach (peeled, sliced, & frozen)
* 1/4 cup milk
* Whipped cream
* Ginger Snap cookies (crushed)
Place ice cream, frozen peach slices, & milk into blender and blend until smooth. Pour into your favorite milkshake glass, top with whipped cream, and crushed ginger snaps. Garnish with fresh peach slices and additional cookies! Enjoy!!

Nothing says summertime like backyard fun! Swimming, slip & slides, sprinklers, and a big glass of cold lemonade!! I hope you’re all enjoying your summer! What’s the weather like where you live? We’ve been traveling for the last week, and I have to admit, that although I love the heat and summer sunshine, I’m not used to humidity (we’ve been in FL, the gulf coast area, and TN). I’m usually the first to complain when our coastal CA fog rolls in, but I’m actually looking forward to cooler temps for a few days.

This simple Orzo Salad is the perfect side dish for anything you plan to grill! It’s also a delicious salad to bring to family gatherings or potlucks! And the best part is I use my favorite bottled balsamic dressing, so it’s both easy to make and delicious!

Back when our girls were younger, we used to host large backyard bbqs on the 4th of July. We’d easily host 100+ friends and family and everyone would enjoy swimming, basketball, trampoline, fireworks, and of course a lot of good food!! I always made my Baked Beans! Always! They may not be the prettiest dish, but they are delicious! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

I’m visiting with my daughter and her family this week, and as usual they give me their dinner requests. I love that they (especially my son-in-law) love my cooking!! One of the requests this week was Bruschetta Chicken! It’s easy to make, tastes delicious, and is perfect for grilling on a warm summer evening! Check out the link in my follow for the recipe.

Do you have your Easter Menu set and your shopping done? It doesn’t matter if we host Easter dinner or brunch, you’ll likely find a large platter of grilled asparagus as one of the side dishes! This year it will be served alongside quiche, ham, fruit parfaits, deviled eggs, and cinnamon roll monkey bread for Easter brunch! Click on the link in my profile to see how I make my grilled asparagus.

Easter! Wow, I can’t believe it’s this Sunday! Do you have any Easter family traditions? Ours usually starts off with church, followed by an egg hunt and enjoying either brunch or an early dinner with family and friends. I’ll be hosting a small family brunch this year. I’m still finalizing my menu, but plan on including a delicious ham served with this Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze! You can find the recipe on my blog (follow the link in my profile).

Just three more days till Valentine’s Days! I love how this table turned out, with the black and red! I added more elements to it than I normally do, but I was in the mood for a fun bright table! I talked about adding layers to a tablescape in my blog post, if you want to head on over and read it. The link is in my profile.

Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) isn’t a new recipe. I was curious enough to look it up and read that it started in the Midwest in the early 60’s. 
I’ve snacked on it plenty of times, but had never made it until this week. A few colored M&Ms easily transforms it into a treat for any holiday or occasion!
