Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large)
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 cup onion, finely chopped
  • ½ tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered (these get blended later!)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken or bone broth
  • ½ cup milk of your choice (almond, whole, or whatever you fancy)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • ⚡ Instant Pot Method
    1. Sauté the Chicken: Turn your Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Drizzle in the olive oil and quickly sear the chicken breasts on both sides — about 2 minutes each. They won’t be fully cooked yet, and that’s totally fine. Set them aside.
    2. Build the Base: Toss in celery, carrots, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, basil, and rosemary. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
    3. Add Potatoes & Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, then lay the chicken on top, followed by the larger potato chunks. Pour in the broth.
    4. Pressure Time: Seal the lid and cook on High Pressure for 9 minutes. Let it naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the rest.
    5. Creamy Magic: Remove the chicken and large potato chunks. Blend those potatoes with milk and a few ladlefuls of the soup broth until smooth, then pour that liquid gold back into the pot.
    6. Shred & Stir: Shred the chicken, return it to the soup, and stir until creamy and dreamy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
  • 🕰️ Slow Cooker Method
    1. Optional but Worth It: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté celery, carrots, onion, and garlic with herbs, salt, and pepper for a couple of minutes. (This step makes everything taste more developed, but you can skip it if you’re lazy-tired.)
    2. Layer It Up: Add raw chicken, veggies, and potatoes to the slow cooker. Pour in broth. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours.
    3. Blend & Finish: When done, remove the large potato pieces and chicken. Blend those potatoes with milk and some broth, then pour back into the crock.
    4. Shred Chicken & Serve: Shred chicken, stir it in, and garnish with parsley. Cozy mode: ON.
  • 🔥 Stovetop Method
    1. Heat olive oil in a big soup pot. Sauté celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and herbs for about 2–3 minutes until they start to soften.
    2. Add the raw chicken, potatoes, and broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring now and then.
    3. Remove the chicken and large potato pieces. Blend those potatoes with milk and some broth until silky smooth. Add the mixture back to the pot.
    4. Shred the chicken, return it to the soup, and stir until perfectly thick and creamy. Garnish with parsley and bask in your culinary glory.

Notes

  • Use Leftover Chicken: Got leftover rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken? Perfect. Skip the raw chicken and shorten the cook time — 5 minutes on High Pressure for Instant Pot, or about 20 minutes on the stovetop.
  • Warm Your Broth: Warm your chicken broth in the microwave before adding it — it speeds things up and helps flavors blend faster.
  • Make It Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or oat milk for a creamy, non-dairy version that’s just as cozy.
