Instant Pot Vegetable Soup with Shredded Chicken

I feel like my Instant Pot is becoming more and more useful as a timesaver for our family. This easy  Instant Pot Vegetable Soup recipe with lots of shredded chicken is no exception.

Full of hearty shredded chicken and your favorite fresh vegetables, my grandmother’s vegetable soup recipe is just as good when made in my pressure cooker!

This homemade chicken vegetable soup recipe is special. It is hearty enough for a meal, yet it is comforting too. I remember my grandmother telling me this is a great soup for using up vegetables that may go bad.

A long time ago, you never wasted food. This chicken tomato vegetable soup recipe is perfect to prevent food waste. Open your refrigerator up. What vegetables will go bad soon? Use those in this recipe. The flavor of the soup will carry through with any vegetables you have on-hand.”

You will find this chicken soup perfect for those cold days, or when you need a hearty lunch. This soup is also low calorie, so there is no guilt if you enjoy that second bowl!

Grandma’s chicken tomato vegetable soup is naturally gluten free (YAY!), paleo, whole30, keto, and perfect for anyone with food allergies. It is comfort food in a bowl! Just add gluten free crackers!

Ingredients for chicken vegetable soup:

• Chicken breasts (boneless)
• Chicken broth
• Diced tomatoes
• Garlic
• Basil
• Vegetables (look in your refrigerator)
• Salt and pepper

This pressure cooker vegetable soup can be made easily in either a pressure cooker or an Instant Pot. Each has slightly different operating instructions so the most important thing is to read the directions of the pressure cooker brand you choose to use.

I have used both the Instant Pot and the Corsori pressure cookers. Both are easy to use and have a ton of safety features in place, so don’t let it intimidate you!

Are you ready to see how I made my grandmother’s vegetable soup in the pressure cooker?

The first step is to add olive oil to the Instant Pot and sauté the onions and garlic on the Sauté setting for 5 minutes.

Add the vegetables and raw chicken breasts to the Instant Pot. I used fresh peas, carrots, and broccoli.

Add a can of unsalted diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and seasonings. Now you want to seal up your Instant Pot, make sure it is locked properly, and cook on the Soup setting (for Instant Pot).
