Instant Pot Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken Soup

I’ve eaten many versions of this soup before and I love them all! There is nothing more creamy and comforting than a bowl of creamy soup with chewy wild rice. In the version that I’ve used for years it called for a package of long grain and wild rice rice-a-roni. I never have this on hand and would always have to make a special trip to the store. Today I decided to make a version that doesn’t have any pre-packaged items like this. It tastes just as good and you will know exactly what you’re eating. The only thing that I might change when I make this soup again is adding mushrooms to it! My kids don’t like mushrooms and so I left them out this time. But I think they would make this awesome instant pot creamy wild rice and chicken soup even better. A few notes about the ingredients I used:

Wild rice: wild rice is black and can be sort of hard to find. It’s also kind of pricey. I went to the bulk section at my grocery store (winco) and bought just the amount I needed, a half cup.

Better than Bouillon Chicken Base*: I love keeping this stuff in my fridge. It tastes so much better than regular bouillon. I buy a big jar of it at Costco. If you don’t have this or can’t have it for dietary reasons than simply use chicken broth instead. You can use 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water.

Half and half: this is just an equal blend of whole milk and light cream that is sold in a carton. If you want to use milk instead you can totally do that. You can also use evaporated milk.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken Soup I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I also own the 6 quart Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker.* They are both great pressure cookers! The first one I mentioned has a yogurt making function but other than that they are fairly similar. The price difference between the two is about $20. If you had an 8 quart Instant Pot you could double this recipe.

Description

Pure comfort food made quickly in your electric pressure cooker. It’s a thick and hearty soup made with wild rice, brown rice, seasonings, vegetables and tender bites of chicken. You can also substitute leftover turkey in this soup. No rice-a-roni packages or pre-packaged foods are used in this version of the soup. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs that have been trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 cup or about 3 ribs of diced celery
  • 1 cup of grated carrots (about 2 carrots)
  • 6 cups water
  • 4 tsp Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
  • 1/2 cup wild rice (uncooked)
  • 1/2 cup long grain brown rice (uncooked)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 cups half and half (you can also use plain milk or evaporated milk)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add chicken, celery, carrots, water, bouillon, rices, pepper, salt, parsley, sugar, garlic powder and thyme to the Instant Pot.
  2. Lock the lid into place. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Push the manual high pressure button and set the timer to 25 minutes. When the timer beeps let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then move the valve to “venting” to release the rest of the pressure.
  3. Remove the lid. Remove the chicken and shred it or cut into pieces. Put the chicken back into the pot.
  4. Melt the butter (I melted mine in a glass bowl in the microwave). Stir in the flour, a tablespoon at time. It will make a cookie dough type consistency. Ladle in a cup of the broth of the soup and stir until creamy. Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. Add the mixture into the Instant Pot and stir.  The soup will thicken up. While it’s thickening, stir in the half and half.
  5. Salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*.

    This soup is soooo good and it’s perfect for busy folks! I loved it!

    I made a few tweaks for what I had on hand. I used 3 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of water instead of 4 cups water and bouillon. I also used frozen chicken breasts … just threw them in out of the freezer! I also added diced onion.

    This will now be rotating through my meal plans on a regular basis! Thank you for the recipe!!

    This is so yummy! Definitely adding to my soup rotation. I used a little over a pound of chicken breasts because that’s what I had on hand. Also, I found it plenty creamy after adding one cup of half and half, so I stopped there.

    We really enjoyed this! I made exactly as written except no parsley (it tastes like fish food to me lol) and I used 1 cup of brown rice instead of 1/2 since I didn’t have wild rice. I also made the roux separately in a small pan as one of the commenters mentioned. Will be making again!

      This is THE BEST soup I have ever made. My husband and two teenage boys RAVED about it! I accidentally added 4TBSP of the Better than Bullion chicken base instead of 4tsp. No problem! Flavor still amazing. It wasn’t too much. I also purchased a 6 oz box of uncle Ben’s original wild rice and added that along with the seasoning packet. I still added all of the other seasonings. I used half-and-half. The end product was a delicious pot of soup that did not need any extra salt and pepper or seasoning. We served it with a “take and bake” French baguette. I will be making the soup over and over and over again! Thank you so much for this recipe!

      you could just 1 cup white rice in place of wild and brown rices. But you’d have to cut the chicken into chunks and only use a 5 minute cooking time.

      Better than bouillon has 680 mg per teaspoon and then the salt has 2500 mg per teaspoon so that would equal 808 mg per serving for those two items alone. I am not sure which other items have sodium but this is what it said when I plugged it into a nutrition calculator.

I wanted to make it again tonight but didn’t have all the ingredients- so I made it without the meat! I doubled the veggies, about 1.5 cup total rice, Half as much half and half, I had a bit of frozen corn I added at the end. Nice creamy vegetable soup! Next time I’ll add some potatoes!

    This is my husband’s favorite IP recipe! Plus the rest of the family like it too. I freeze leftover rotisserie chicken and turkey and use it when I make the soup or just use 4-5 frozen chicken breasts if I don’t have anything else. It’s always excellent!! And so easy! I wondered if long grain and wild rices were necessary so I tried a mixed rice I bought at the store that had white, brown, red and wild rice. The rice soaked up most of the liquid and made it more like stew than soup. Taste was still fine, but the family prefered the texture of the rice and soupiness of the recipe using long and wild rices.

    I’ve made this twice in two weeks now and we all LOVE it. My husband said he never craves soup but he was craving this one after the first time I made it, and that is amazing. We had the leftovers for lunch yesterday and were in soup heaven once again. Also, it’s so perfect with some easy dinner rolls. Yum, yum.
    This soup is going to be a staple in our household for the rest of time.
    Thank you so much for posting!!!

    I made this tonight and it was amazing! There isn’t any nutritional information, is there?

    This was excellent! I would make this again and wish I had doubled it for my 8qt instant pot. Just wanted to let you know that the recipe doesn’t indicate when to put in the rice.

    Does the 25 min cooking time apply after it’s built pressure? Or is it building pressure + pressured = 25 min. New to the pressure cooking! Just got mine 🙂

      Hi Ali, Welcome! When you set the manual (or pressure cook button) to 25 minutes it will click over to a pressure building mode and build the pressure for about 10 minutes then it will start counting down from 25. So it will take at least 35 minutes. Plus the 10 extra minutes to release the pressure naturally. So it will take at least 45 minutes for the cooking process.

    If I opt to not use the boullion and just use the 4 cups broth and 2 cups water, do I still add the 6 cups water in addition to that?

      no, just the 6 cups of liquid total.

    I made this tonight. I omitted the thickening part and kept it as a broth. Delicious! Getting very cool nights and this hit the spot. Thank you!

    This was easy to make and I think it would have tasted good, but it was way too salty! I think you must have meant 4 teaspoons of Better than Bouillon instead of tablespoons? That would be the same as 4 cups of broth plus 2 cups of water. I’m a person who likes things salty, but this was almost inedible. The whole teaspoon of pepper was a lot too. Now that I know this, I can make it with less bouillon and salt, but I wanted to leave a note for others.

      Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. You are right! It was supposed to be 4 tsp instead of tablespoons. I changed it. I feel horrible, I’m sorry!!

    This recipe rocked! I used 2 cloves garlic instead of garlic salt, and I used chicken stock w/ 2 bullion cubes instead of water. I used a mandolin to slice 3 carrots, and I added a bit more celery. I also used 1 cup half & half & 1 cup heavy cream. I’ll make this often!

    Does this stay in the refrigerator well after cooking? I am pretty sure I will have leftovers.

      Yes it does. You could also freeze it.

    If you use left over turkey, when do you add the turkey since it’s already cooked??

      You can add it at the end. Just stir it in and heat up for a few minutes.

        So adding cooked meat at the end doesn’t change the cooking time/settings of the other ingredients in the IP?

          no you can keep the same. The rice will still need the time to cook through.

      probably enough room to 1 1/2 times the recipe, I’m not sure about doubling the recipe. Did you do it? How did it work?

        I have a 10 quart pressure cooker. I doubled the recipe without a problem. I like my soups with extra soup so I added a couple cups of stock. Absolutely marvelous!

    Instead of using the flour and butter at the end of the recipe, I ised cornstarch and hot water to make a slurry to thicken. I also added a can of drained corn at he end. Great recipe! Everyone loved it!
