Going Wild for Instant Pot Soup Season!

Ever since I got my first in 2016, I’ve been hooked on this handy dandy gadget! Sometimes (or a lot of times), life gets pretty hectic and it’s so nice to have the option of using this “set it and forget it” appliance. Not only has it been a HUGE timesaver for me and my husband, I also love the Instant Pot because it allows me to prepare such a wide variety of recipes in a considerably shorter amount of time. And in case you’re wondering, yes, even things like cheesecake!

Just like many of you, one of my absolute favorite ways to use my Instant Pot during the Fall season is to make soup – lots and lots of soup! In the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more Fall recipes that have been favorites in our family. But first, I’m so excited to share with you our foolproof Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup!

What You Need to Make Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed (omit if vegetarian/vegan)
6 cups bone broth , sub vegetable/chicken stock
1 cup uncooked 100% wild rice
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced

How To Make Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Add chicken, broth, wild rice, mushrooms, garlic, carrots, celery, sweet potato/butternut squash, onion, seasonings into the bowl of an Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
Close the lid and set vent to “sealing”. Cook on the soup or manual setting for 20-25 minutes. Allow for natural release for 10 minutes, then turn the Instant Pot vent to “venting” and quick release the remaining pressure.
Open the lid and mix in the can of coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. ENJOY!
