Healthy Chicken Wild Rice Soup Instant Pot, Stovetop, or Slow Cooker

Simple recipe but really good. Good comfort meal for at home. Also good for company because it's pretty hearty. In addition to this recipe, you could add whatever you like in your chicken soup. Celery or some more veggies. If you like your broth thin, you don't even have to put the corn starch to thicken. It's good either way.

This is delicious. I took my usual “order of things” liberties with my instant pot….sautéed the onion, garlic, carrots, then added the cut up chicken breasts for a couple of minutes. Then just dumped in the liquids, rice, etc (added a bay leaf) (except for the milk), set it for 30 minutes. Did a quick pressure release, added some cayenne, two bouillon cubes and the milk/tapioca.

Delicious but had to cook the rice a lot longer. Next time I'll try rice cook on high the first time instead of default. Had to do both. Took a good amount of time but was worth it.

I added a bay leaf to it and some sage. I also did 32oz of chicken broth. 16 oz seemed a little bit too little especially for the stove top method. I added some chicken bouillon granules as well. I added the rotisserie chicken after I added the chicken stock and the cooked rice right before the soup finished so it wouldn't get mushy. (They never said when to add them in the stove top version).
