Under the Weather Chicken Soup

I just started exploring using my instant pot more over the past 6 months and I love making soups with it! They come together so quickly, which is handy for busy days or when you’re just not feeling great! This is a great one for cold days, or when the family is under the weather and needs some extra immune support! The bone broth, garlic and turmeric are so good for you.

4 cups chicken broth (or bone broth)

3 carrots

5 stalks of celery

1/2 an onion

2-3 garlic cloves

2 chicken breasts

1 1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp dried parsley

Dash of turmeric (it’s so good for you and gives the soup a pretty color!)

1 drop of lemon vitality essential oil (Optional, from young living. Vitality oils can be ingested.)

1/2 box of pasta ( I like the gluten free simple truth fusilli. You could use any kind, 1/2 cup of rice, or orzo pasta.)

Dice carrots, celery, onions, and garlic fairly small. Add to instant pot along with broth, chicken and spices. Attach lid and cook on manual for 9 minutes. Release the pressure, add the pasta, stir in. Close the lid and set manual for another 5 minutes. Release the pressure, shred the chicken and enjoy! (I shred chicken in my kitchen aid mixer, using the whisk attachment. It takes about 30 seconds and comes out perfectly every time!)

*this can easily be made on the stove top too!
