How to Make Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup:
This Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup comes together easily and quickly. First, turn your Instant Pot on Saute mode. Add oil and heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and stir for a couple of minutes.
Next, add chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, bell pepper, oregano, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and chicken stock.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock into place. Turn knob to sealing. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button. Set the cook time for 20 minutes on high pressure.
When cook time is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure.

WIll it be too spicy?
We like a little spice, but we understand (especially if you’re feeding kids) the need to cut down on the spice. For this recipe, for a milder soup, omit the chili pepper. You can also decrease the amount of cumin you use.
Our recommendation is to start with minimal spices. You can always add more to taste at the end.
What Bread Should I serve with this soup?
This soup is a stand alone AMAZING dish, but here are some ideas for rounding out your meal:
- Try our Easy Homemade Cornbread
- Or our Easy Homemade French Bread
- Or if you need something even easier, grab your favorite breadsticks or loaf of bread at the store.
What instant Pot Should I buy?
If you don’t have and Instant Pot, you can buy one here! This isn’t one of the fancy models, but it works great and has a smaller price tag.
We feel like a 6 quart is adequate, even for a family of 6, but you might consider an 8qt if you like to make bigger batches for plenty of leftovers.

This recipe looks like my grandma's recipe

The 1st portion of this page where you have paragraphs written says to cook high pressure for 15 minutes. The bottom portion of the page showing ingredients, picture & step-by-step instructions says to cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Which is it, 15 or 20 minutes? Thanks for the recipes!

How can I make this with frozen chicken

Made this for dinner tonight and it was outstanding. We made ours without sun dried tomatoes since we both aren’t fans of it. Served with bread and got rave reviews.
-
Just have to say - I'm usually not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, but this recipe is the first one ever where I've liked them! Maybe just try them once and see if you have the same experience?

This was amazing! I made it last night for my family and it was a hit!!! Thank you so much for recipes that are simple but fun to make!
-
Making this right now and can’t wait to try it! Just a quick question. On the photo directions it says to cook for 15 minutes but the actual recipe says 20 minutes. Which time should I use?
-
Fantastic meal. Just finished eating my first bowl! A wonderful recipe
-
This is fabulous! I ate it 3 nights in a row! It reheats beautifully. I used rotisserie chicken instead of the chicken breast so I reduced the cooking time to 10 minutes. I also used a cup of evaporated milk instead of cream. An easy, filling soup that's just right for cooler temps (even though I'd enjoy it all year round). I'll certainly be making it again!
-
Loved it! I had some grape tomatoes that were in the cusp so I used them. Absolutely amazing recipe.
-
This works without the instant pot just takes longer. I've been making this for years in a regular pot and have changed it so much over the years. It's my families favorite soup
-
This was insanely good! Cannot wait to make it again, I did add 1/2 cup more of broth to stretch it a bit but it really doesn't need a thing. Top marks all around
-
Although this recipe was quite tasty, I have 2 notes to make... First, it could use more veggies, it doesn’t feel like enough with just onion, peppers and tomatoes - I think celery or carrot would be good. Second, the recipe says it serves 6 people but I made it for myself and my boyfriend and we had just enough for the two of us plus a small bowl left over, so I would say it feeds closer to 4 people (if we’re talking about adults). Other than that, it was a great recipe.
