Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Turn the Instant Pot to Saute mode and melt ghee. Add onions and ginger and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in celery and carrots and cook for another 1 minute. 
  2. Add remaining ingredients except for coconut milk and cilantro. Hit "Cancel". Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook/Manual(Hi) for 10 minutes. See notes if using chicken breasts.
  3. Allow natural pressure release and open the Instant Pot.
  4. Take out the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the soup. Stir in coconut milk and cilantro. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with more cilantro and black pepper. 

Notes

  • Notes:
  • For Bone-in chicken thighs, increase the pressure cook time to 15 minutes 
  • If using chicken breasts pressure cook on poultry mode for 13 minutes followed by natural pressure release. This helps keep the chicken breasts tender and shred easily
