Best Instant Pot Chicken Veggie Soup

Who hates the “what’s for dinner?” question as much as I do?! I needed a break from the same ol’ meals we make weekly, so I broke out my Instant Pot and had a craving for some healing, nourishing chicken and vegetable soup for the soul (and body, of course). I had a one-pot meal ready in under 30 minutes start to finish, with the cooking time being 21 total minutes (during which time I made Keto Everything Garlic Rolls to go with my soup!). The complete recipe is below.

A few quick notes:

1. for the broth I opted to use high-quality chicken bone broth from Kettle and Fire *(found online and I purchase at my local Publix but have seen it at Whole Foods and Sprouts too). Using broth from quality organic and pasture-fed animals is a must if you care about keeping inflammation low and getting maximum nutritional benefits. You are what you eat which means you are what the animal you eat also eats.

2. You can vary the veggies, just be careful which ones you put in for more than a couple minutes. If you want this batch to be re-heatable for a couple of days some of your veggies will get super soggy if you overcook them on day one.

3. Feel free to omit or add in more spice to your liking – the one I created had a nice zing to it without being too spicy. The sour cream cools down the spice on the tongue and adds a thickness to the soup as it melts.

HAPPY NOURISHING!
