Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 tsp ground thyme
- ½ tsp rosemary
- 32 ounce chicken broth, about 4 cups
- 1 cup chopped carrots, about 3 large carrots
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 cup chopped celery, about 3 stalks
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 can coconut milk, about 14 ounces
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour, or arrowroot powder
Instructions
- First, cut chicken into 1 inch pieces. Rub thyme and rosemary all over chicken.
- Pour chicken broth into Instant Pot. Add in chicken, carrots, onion, celery and spinach.
- Secure lid on Instant Pot. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
- Once the timer goes off, allow pot to sit for 10 minutes. Then, carefully push top valve to Vent and manually release pressure.
- Once pressure is released, take off lid. Press Cancel. Then press Sauté. Stir in canned coconut milk.
- Carefully remove about 2 tablespoons of the liquid in the pot. Add this liquid to a small bowl and stir in tapioca flour.
- Pour this mixture back into the pot. Stir to combine. Allow soup to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
- Finally, turn off pot. Ladle into bowls and serve!
Notes
- If using frozen chicken, let it thaw enough so that it can be chopped into 1 inch pieces. The cooking time will not change.
- When dealing with Instant Pot, always use an oven mitt and be careful to not burn yourself.
- Use canned coconut milk, not coconut cream.
- When mixing liquid with tapioca flour, mix completely. This will be a milky creamy substance. See photo above for reference.
- Allow soup to simmer on Sauté mode until desired thickness is reached.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- This soup freezes and reheats well.
- See above for stovetop and slow cooker instructions.
