Equipment

  • Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • lbs Chicken Breasts (or chicken thighs)
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 Celery diced
  • 2 Carrot diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 16 oz. Mushrooms thinly sliced
  • ½ Tsp Dried Oregano
  • ½ Tsp Dried Thyme
  • ¼ Cup Flour
  • 3 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to the sauté mode and add olive oil and butter. Once hot, add diced onions, celery, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add thinly sliced mushrooms to the pot and continue sautéing until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir in dried oregano, dried thyme, and flour, coating the vegetables evenly. Cook for another minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot to ensure no bits are stuck. Add chicken breasts or thighs to the pot.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid, seal the vent, and set to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick pressure release.
  • Open the lid and remove the chicken from the pot. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.
  • Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for a few minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Mushroom Soup!
