Can I Make Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup?
Yes - there are instructions in the recipe card for making this in your Instant Pot.
Tips & Tricks
- Homemade broth is best in soup - it just adds so much flavor! I make mine by saving chicken bones and vegetable scraps. Rinse them well, cover them with water, add seasonings and a splash of apple cider vinegar, and then cook them in my Instant Pot for 90 minutes.
- If you don't have homemade broth, I like to add a bouillon cube. Just make sure you read the label and pick one that is gluten-free and has ingredients that fit with your preferred eating style. (Some contain soy, and I've even seen some with added sugar.)
Variations
- Looking for a way to use that leftover holiday turkey? Make Keto Turkey Pot Pie Soup!
- If you want to go a less traditional method and lower the carbs, you can omit the peas and use any vegetable you like - broccoli and cauliflower are good options.
