About this Recipe

Craving a deeply comforting, hearty meal that practically cooks itself? This Instant Pot Chicken Soup delivers on all fronts, bringing a rich, savory warmth to your dinner table with minimal fuss.

This recipe shines by combining both boneless chicken thighs and breasts, ensuring a wonderfully tender texture and complex chicken flavor in every spoonful. The Instant Pot works its magic, infusing the broth with layers of savory herbs and aromatics, making a truly satisfying soup that tastes like it simmered all day.

Expect a robust, flavorful soup teeming with classic, comforting ingredients. Each spoonful offers tender pieces of chicken alongside crisp-tender diced celery, sweet carrots, and aromatic onion and garlic, all suspended in a wonderfully rich broth. The touch of herbes de Provence adds an elevated, fragrant note, while red pepper flakes provide a gentle warmth that makes each bite intriguing. It's a nourishing, substantial dish that feels both wholesome and deeply satisfying.

Feel free to adjust the herbes de Provence to your preference or swap in other dried herbs like thyme or rosemary if you prefer. You can also dial up or down the red pepper flakes to suit your preferred spice level. For an even heartier soup, consider adding a handful of small pasta or rice towards the end of the cooking process.

Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a comforting meal when you need something nourishing. Serve this Instant Pot chicken soup with a side of crusty bread to soak up every last drop of the delicious broth.
