Instant Pot® Chicken and Wild Rice Chowder image

When I was a little girl, my mamaw made a chicken casserole which was simple for the time, but comforting. I've converted it into a chowder, and for ease of preparation this uses rotisserie chicken breasts.

CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER RICE SOUP



Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Soup image

Sometimes you need the comfort and healing power of chicken noodle soup but could do without the noodles. For those times, there's this herby and aromatic soup featuring fresh ginger, jalapeño, green onion, basil and cilantro, and made complete with tender chunks of chicken thighs and a rich chicken broth. In place of noodles, this soup features cauliflower rice-find it in the freezer section of your grocery store. This cruciferous vegetable does double duty here by making a satisfying textural substitute for the rice or noodles you might normally add to your chicken soup, while also adding some healthful benefits-cauliflower is loaded with nutrients, fiber, vitamins and potassium. The final twist in this soup recipe is the tablespoon of soy sauce stirred in at the end for extra savory flavor that'll have you coming back for a second bowl! So next time you need to heal your body or soul, do it with the help of this non-traditional but just-as-soothing chicken soup!

  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preference. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: This chowder is delicious served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
