🔪How To Make Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- Step 1: First, hit the sauté or sear button on your Instant Pot, melt your butter, and then add your onions and carrots. Sauté them for about 8-10 minutes. Next, add ¼ cup of chicken broth to your pot, and scrape the bottom to remove any remnants from the bottom.
- Step 2: Add your garlic, thyme, chicken, potatoes, corn, peas, and the rest of your chicken broth to the Instant Pot. Close the lid on your Instant Pot, push the pressure valve to the sealing position, hit pressure cook or manual, and set the time for 10 minutes.
- Step 3: Once your Instant Pot beeps, do a quick release by pushing the pressure valve to the venting position.
- Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and heavy cream until a creamy slurry forms. Then, stir the roux into the soup until it thickens. Garnish with herbs and serve.
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Cut Potatoes Large: You want your potatoes to be no smaller than 1 inch. You want the potatoes to be fairly large, so they don't turn into mashed potatoes.
- Make Sure The Roux Is Not Lumpy: You don't want clumps and lumps in your slurry.
- Simmer To Thicken: If your chicken pot pie still seems thin, you can use your saute button to simmer and thicken the soup.
