Description

A fast and easy version of the Scottish chicken, leek and rice soup. You can make this in your electric pressure cooker or your slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 leeks, clean and sliced into quarter inch slices (see note)
  • 3 cups cooked and chopped rotisserie chicken (see note)
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into half inch pieces
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp minced onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 cups chicken broth

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 3 minutes. When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  3. Discard the bay leaves. Stir well. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Slow Cooker Instructions: 

  1. Add all ingredients into slow cooker. 
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until rice and carrots are cooked. If you are using the slow cooker function on your Instant Pot then use the “more” setting. 
  3. Discard the bay leaves. Stir well. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Notes

How to prepare and clean leeks: With a sharp knife, remove the dark green leaf end and discard. Thinly slice the leek into rings and discard the root end. Submerge the sliced leeks in a bowl of cold water. Give them a gentle stir or shake to remove any soil or grit between the layers. Allow the leeks to sit in the water for a few minutes. Then scoop them into a colander using your hands or a slotted spoon. Rinse with cool water tossing as you rinse. 

I cooked a whole chicken in the Instant Pot and chopped it up for this recipe and a casserole recipe. It works great for meal prep! You can also buy a rotisserie chicken for a great price at Costco. They even have the rotisserie chicken meat chopped and packaged now. Another option is to make my favorite seasoned shredded chicken. 

Original cock-a-leekie soup has prunes in it. I opted out of the prunes. But you can add 4 ounces of pitted and chopped prunes, if you’d like.
