This was my first meal with the instant pot- success!! Easy to follow directions and the soup was delicious!
Quick, easy and very good. You may get a burn notice because it is thick and the gnocchi sinks to the bottom, but it will come up to pressure first and with a time of zero minutes it is done before the burn impacts anything.
I make a variation of this soup. I add the flour and half&half after a npr. The carrots, celery, onion and garlic i saute first. I cook it with the soup function for 15mins. Just like the Olive Gardens famous soup.
My first recipe. Just wasnt enough. The second time i doubled the recipe.
Why does the recipe say zero minutes?
This does need clarifying. 0 minutes? What pressure builds Up in zero minutes?
Hi TumeysKat,
The cooking time is set to 0 minutes but it will still need time to come to pressure; which is not included in the ) minute cook time.
Love this recipe. Very easy and super delicious!
Made this for dinner tonight. Turned out great! I would change 2 cups chicken broth to adding another 2 after it comes to pressure so its more soupy instead of stewy.
Wonderful recipe andmy instant pot reported burn before the pressure had built up. Will make soup again only in a regulare pot not the instant pot
Used 2 14.5 cans of broth when it called for 2 cups. Did not come out thick at all. Better tasting then at a certain italian resturant.
Better than olive garden. Follow directions exactly, will turn out perfect.
Followed instructions, received BURN alert before pressure could build. Soup was tasty, will double the amount of chicken stock next time, or wait to mix in flour and half & half until after pressure release.
The burn indication concerns me. Please notate in the recipe that this will display so others don’t lose their “noodle” like I just did. Burned at the bottom but was delicious nevertheless. Followed the directions but kinda eyed the veggies when it came to quantity. The ratio came out beautiful and even. 5/5 even if my inner pot has soup burned at the bottom.
Made a double batch At once. This was amazing!!!
Delicious soup!
Would someone please clarify zero minutes?
I used this recipe as a guideline to make a double batch. Before making it, I pressure cooked a pound of chicken breast tenders seasoned with seasoned salt and garlic powder with about a cup and a half of water for 5 minutes. I chopped the chicken and reserved the broth to help make the soup. I made homemade gnocchi which cooks differently so I decided to not use the pressure cook function and only use the saute mode. Because fresh gnocchi thickens soup so much I added two extra cups of broth.
I really liked the taste of it, but it was a little cumbersome with the burn indicator right before it was building up. I scraped off the burned bits and tried again after adding 2 additional cups of water with Better Than Bouillion paste. It again showed the burn sign and I just turned it off and let it soften up with the lid on. The flavor is great but you’ll have to make sure you watch it.
