Chicken and rice soup instant pot
I love how instant pot recipes can be made with meat that is frozen solid. I use frozen meat in most of my instant pot recipes and I did in this one as well. Thawed chicken is fine also, but know if you forgot to thaw your meat, the instant pot will have your back.
This recipe made enough chicken and wild rice soup to bring two quarts to my friend for her and her family and have a quart leftover for my husband and me to eat. What’s better than feeding two families with one mess?
To make this soup, all I had to do was chop up a few vegetables and throw stuff in the pot. Once it was cooked, I had to shred up some chicken and the rest was a piece of cake. The instant pot makes dinner a whole lot easier. This instant pot chicken wild rice soup was super simple.

I love cooking in bulk because if I’m going to get the mess out to cook something, I want to be able to eat it more than once. I like freezing half of what I cook or even more than half so I can pull out a surprise meal from the freezer that’s delicious. This soup freezes great.
