Electric Pressure Cooker Chicken Soup – Freezer to Table in 30 Minutes

February 10, 2021

I have to admit that I love having an electric pressure cooker (also known as the InstantPot) available for cooking rice and quick meals. I set out to learn how to use an electric pressure cooker by making a shoulder roast and lots and lots of rice – especially my honey tumeric rice. I do admit it does make the best rice I have ever had. But I knew I had to expand beyond rice so I’ve started using it for other things. I’ve learned that it’s great for cooking the stuffed cabbage that I pack up for the freezer. I just pop it in frozen solid and 15 minutes later I have a completely cooked dinner ready to serve. Now I was ready to try something new. I hadn’t pulled anything out for dinner and I was in the mood for soup so I thought I’d try some electric pressure cooker chicken soup.

How Was the Electric Pressure Cooker Chicken Soup?

First I have to note that I am constantly amazed at how quickly the electric pressure cooker gets things cooked. It’s like magic – even though I know it’s not. As for this soup – it was pretty tasty. Simple, yes – but that was exactly what I was looking for that night. I didn’t want anything very fancy. I just wanted a comforting bowl of soup.

It was filling and full of our garden grown vegetables. I served it with homemade crackers. Homemade bagels would also be a wonderful accompaniment. It was a perfect meal for a cold and snowy evening. And I just loved that I could throw it all together and have it on the table in half an hour. I wish these things had been around when I was working – whew, would it have made life easier!
