Instant Pot Chicken Farro Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 cups carrots that have been sliced lengthwise and cut into 3/4-inch slices
  • 1 cup sliced celery with leaves
  • 1 medium leek, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup farro, rinsed
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed
Instructions
1
Begin by activating your pressure cooker, then add a generous amount of oil to the pot. Next, select the Sauté function on your device and carefully add sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced leek. Stir constantly as they begin to soften, approximately 3-4 minutes pass. Add minced garlic and cook for just a brief moment, about 30 seconds, until its aroma is released.
2
Add dried thyme, oregano, and chopped parsley to the pot, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine these ingredients. Now, add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing its flavors to meld.
3
Pour a sufficient amount of broth into the pot and stir in cooked farro. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the liquid, pressing them gently into place. Close and secure the lid on your pressure cooker.
4
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines to set the high-pressure setting, and then set a timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes to pass before releasing the pressure naturally, as instructed by the manufacturer.
5
Once the natural-release method has completed its 10-minute duration, carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method for about 5 minutes. Remove and unlock the lid.
6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean surface, roughly chop it into bite-sized pieces, and return it to the pot. Stir well to combine the chicken with the remaining liquid. Finally, season your dish to taste with a pinch of salt.
