    I cook a lot but am new to using the instant pot so I appreciated this video.

    I can't afford boneless skinless chicken even thighs. I go to Walmart and buy 10lbs of leg quarters for less than $8. I separate the legs from the thighs and vacuum save until I need them and before I freeze them I can skin the pieces, but i like the small amount of oil from the skin anyway to do what soup is for and it moves the body to flush impurities out quickly when you aren't feeling well or have a cold. Even using chicken broth or bullion adds much more hearty flavor. Many do saute the meat and veggies before adding the liquid. Your recipe inspired me to create with your base recipe. Thanks

    I love how simple this recipe is, all the other Instant Pot chicken soup recipes I've found online had a bunch of other steps including sauteing ingredients beforehand, cooking the chicken and vegetables separately, etc etc and the whole reason I got an Instant Pot was for the ease of just dumping everything in and letting it all cook together for a quick weeknight meal. I'm excited to try this, thank you :)

  • This is an awesome video!! I got an instant pot and was not getting the flavor or consistency with different beef roasts. I was looking for different soup ideas and im going to try this. Thank you again for this video.
  • I found this video at the perfect time. The cold weather has me craving soup. I’ve already learned many soup recipes and I share videos of mine too. I’m still on the hunt for more. I love this one. Thank you for sharing it with me. I hope we can learn more for each other as we grow our channels and recipes. ❤

    Leftover bones and chicken pieces make quick stock in an instant pot. One of my favorite uses for that appliance.

    glad you let the pin drop on it's own.. some people do not know that when you fast release the pressure , the meat can tighten up and won't be as tender... just saiyan...
