Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your Instant Pot, Crockpot, or a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup of diced celery, 1 cup of chopped carrots, 1 finely diced onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Add 1 pound of chicken breasts and 2 cups of diced Yukon Gold potatoes. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a sprinkle of dried parsley, basil, and rosemary. Stir to combine.
- If using an Instant Pot, seal and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes, allowing a natural release for 5 minutes. For a Crockpot, cover and cook on low for 6 hours. For stovetop, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the chicken and large potato pieces from the pot. In a blender, combine these with 1 cup of your choice of milk and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot along with the creamy blend. Stir until mixed thoroughly.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with whole grain bread or a fresh salad.
