Description

A creamy chicken and vegetable soup that hides all the vegetables for those picky eaters. Make it in your Instant Pot or slow cooker.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp Better than Bouillon chicken base
  • 1 rib of celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 head of cauliflower, quartered
  • 6 large garlic cloves
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 teaspoon each turmeric, sage, rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, pepper, kosher salt
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients into Instant Pot.
  2. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the SOUP button to 10 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  3. Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a cutting board. Shred or chop.
  4. Pour the contents from the Instant Pot into a blender (work in batches, if needed). Blend until smooth and creamy. Make sure to vent and pause blending after a few seconds to release steam to that it doesn’t explode. Pour back into Instant Pot.
  5. Stir in the chicken. 
  6. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Slow Cooker Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients into slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Shred or chop.
  4. Pour the contents from the slow cooker into a blender (work in batches, if needed). Blend until smooth and creamy. Make sure to vent and pause blending after a few seconds to release steam to that it doesn’t explode. Pour back into slow cooker.
  5. Stir in the chicken. 
  6. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Notes

You can also use an immersion blender* to blend the soup. I used my Blendtec blender*.
