Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup

🥧 What Makes This Recipe So Good

I absolutely LOVE chicken pot pie. It’s one of my all-time favorite dishes! So much so that, back when I was regularly doing Whole30 and eating paleo, I knew I had to find a way to incorporate it into my routine. And that’s what I did! This soup is inspired by my classic chicken pot pie recipe, and it’s got everything you’d expect from the original dish, minus the crust. Juicy chicken, tender vegetables, fresh herbs, a rich and savory gravy-like soup. Pure comfort food! There’s no gluten, no grains, no refined sugar, and no lactose. That makes this a deliciously lighter take on chicken pot pie and chicken pot pie soup. It’s also completely compatible with a Whole30 round or a paleo lifestyle! Not following any specific eating styles? No problem. You can still appreciate the lean protein and all the nutrients that come from the fresh veggies and herbs. Thanks to the Instant Pot, this chicken pot pie soup is ready to eat in less than 45 minutes. The whole process is practically hands-off, too. Can’t get to your Instant Pot today for whatever reason? No problem. We’ve also included instructions for a stovetop method and a Crockpot method in the recipe card below.

👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips

For an even easier, faster chicken pot pie soup, skip the Instant Pot. You heard me. Make it on the stovetop with already-cooked chicken instead! Rotisserie or leftover chicken would overcook in the Instant Pot. Not ideal. Follow the stovetop instructions in the recipe card below. When you add the cashew cream, add your precooked chicken, too. I like to use shredded chicken, but you can chop it instead if you want. Stir everything together and let it simmer just until the chicken’s warmed through. It’s super important that you deglaze the Instant Pot insert after sautéing the mirepoix and garlic. What does that mean? Once the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic are soft and fragrant, stir in the chicken broth. While you’re stirring, be sure to scrape up any veggies or garlic that may have stuck to the bottom of the insert. Stuck food will almost definitely cause a BURN notice which will make the Instant Pot stop cooking.
