Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Biscuits for topping
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing chicken breast into 1-inch cubes, chopping onion, and dicing carrots and celery into uniform small pieces.
- Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode. Add a small amount of oil and brown the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pressure cooker. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften and release their aromatics.
- Pour in chicken broth, then add thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients and ensure seasonings are well distributed.
- Close the pressure cooker lid, set to high pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 5 minutes after cooking completes.
- Carefully open the lid and stir in heavy cream and frozen peas. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to warm the peas and thicken the soup slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
- Serve hot in bowls, topped with warm, buttered biscuits on the side or crumbled on top of the soup.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: Dice your chicken and vegetables into consistent, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and a professional-looking result.
- Browning is Key: Don't skip the browning step for the chicken—it develops deep, rich flavor that elevates the entire soup.
- Cream Addition: Add heavy cream after pressure cooking to prevent separation and maintain a smooth, luxurious texture.
- Biscuit Bonus: For extra indulgence, use store-bought or homemade biscuits. Warm them and either serve on the side or crumble directly into the soup.
- Seasoning Strategy: Taste and adjust seasonings after adding cream, as the flavors will have concentrated during pressure cooking.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This soup reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep or leftovers.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap or add vegetables like potatoes, green beans, or corn to customize your soup.
