Get My Meal Plans NOW!Will this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup 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 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.
