Yes that's right, just a bog-standard no frills instant pot chicken soup recipe, or use a pan if you're still mastering the basics. We'll cover both. This might look like a bowl of arse but damn it if it doesn't taste good!
This recipe comes from A Saucy Kitchen, and we've adapted it for SW. Take a look at her site though, there's all sorts of tasty shizz on there!
Ingredients
- two large stalks of celery
- three carrots of indecent size, sliced
- one giant onion, sliced and diced
- two big handfuls of mushrooms, sliced
- two cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp of rosemary
- 1 cup of wild rice (we buy ours in Tesco) (but feel free to use white rice)
- 3 big chicken breasts
- 1200ml of good quality chicken stock (low sodium is better so you're not clutching your arm in fright later)
- Now honestly, you can add anything into this soup veg wise - don't be frightened
Instructions
Instant Pot
- press the sauté button, wait for it to heat up and then add a few sprays of olive oil - or if you're sensible, like us, a good glug, and don't count the syns because oil is good for you - add the onion, celery, carrots and mushrooms and cook for three minutes until they're softened
- add the garlic and rosemary and cook for another minute
- add the chicken breasts (whole), stock and rice
- seal the Instant Pot, cook on high pressure for five minutes (select Manual and then five minutes) and go pick your bum whilst it does its thing
- let it depressurise unless you fancy putting a new parting in your hair with the roof tiles from your house
- lift out the chicken and shred it on a chopping board and tip it all back in
- let it sit for a few minutes to thicken nicely and then eat!
In a pan:
- saute the veg
- add the stock, rice, chicken and everything
- cook until the chicken is cooked through
- shred
I mean haway.
Notes
- Instant Pot - always available on Amazon for around £100 - and worth every bloody penny
- get yourself a mandolin slicer, but watch your friggin' fingers - and especially your frigging fingers - because boy do they make slicing easy
- this freezes well - so whack it in some containers and you've got a lunch ready for days when you just can't be arsed. These cheap containers will do the trick!
