Instant Pot Chicken Soup is easy, delicious, and ready in minutes. It’s also the perfect soup for chilly winter days!

We love Instant Pot Chicken recipes. Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken Sliders and Instant Pot Chicken and Rice.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN SOUP

When the weather outside is chilly or you’re fighting the sniffles, there’s nothing more satisfying than some homemade chicken soup. Now you can have it ready in minutes with your Instant Pot!

IS INSTANT POT CHICKEN SOUP REALLY READY, START TO FINISH, IN UNDER AN HOUR?

This is what I love about my Instant Pot. Sure, you can simmer the soup for hours on the stove, but why? By pressure cooking your chicken soup, you will have a delicious, hearty soup ready in no time. And the flavor is amazing!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT CHICKEN SOUP?

You don’t actually have to serve anything with it, but I love to have a Southern Cornbread Muffin on the side. They’re easy to whip up while the soup is cooking and they’re the perfect accompaniment to a steaming hot bowl of Instant Pot Chicken Soup!

WILL INSTANT POT CHICKEN SOUP FREEZE WELL?

This soup will both freeze well and keep in the refrigerator for a few days. Instant Pot Chicken Soup is wonderful to have on hand for chilly days or to chase the sniffles away!

Happenings From our Family of 9

We had a brief but fairly intense snowstorm here the other day and the kids naturally wanted to take advantage and go sledding.  We quickly got our stuff together and headed out to a nearby lake that has a pretty good sized dam.  They had so much fun sledding all the way until we ran out of sunlight.  Pictured below are the youngest two preparing for a run down the hill.

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
