2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 6), fat trimmed
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tsp. black pepper, plus more to taste
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 large celery stalks, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 large carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh sage
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 c. white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth)

2 tbsp. salted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 bunch kale, leaves torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)

  • Return the chicken to the pot. Add the butter mixture, stirring to thicken. Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Add the kale and cook 2 minutes.

1 cup celery, diced
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
2 large chicken breasts, boneless skinless, uncooked and diced
1 (6-ounce) package Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Dash red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 cup milk
1 cup half and half

Steps:

  • Select Saute and add butter to the pressure cooker pot. When butter is melted, add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, chicken, wild rice (discard seasoning packet) salt, pepper, and parsley to the pressure cooking pot. Lock lid in place, select High Pressure and 5 minutes cook time and start. When timer beeps, turn off pressure cooker, wait 5 minutes, then do a quick pressure release. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water. Select Simmer and add cornstarch mixture to the pot stirring constantly. Add cubed cream cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Add milk and half and half and heat through but do not bring to a boil

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Use fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and a good quality chicken broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the rice will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough room for the rice to move around freely.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the rice to cook through. Don't rush the process or you will end up with undercooked rice.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is done, taste it and add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day.
