Instant Pot Lemon Chicken Soup

 

This Instant Pot Lemon Chicken Soup is so delicious. The lemon and dill combination gives this soup a whole new flavor for chicken soup. Our daughter Melody was home for a visit and made this soup for us. We had so much fun making the soup and taking the photos for the blog post. The soup was easy to make because we used the instant pot and the soup pot all at the same time. I love cooking with my daughters and granddaughter's, they are always teaching me new things. This soup would be good any time of the year, but especially on a cold rainy day.

How To Make 

Instant Pot Lemon Chicken Soup

With the Instant Pot set on Sauté, stir in chopped carrots, celery, onions, celery leaves, dill, lemon zest salt and pepper. Sauté until the onions are clear and the carrots are slightly tender.

Prep

Wash and dry the chicken. Place 1 lemon quartered into the cavity of the chicken. Place one celery stem with the leaves, 1 stem of dill fern into the cavity of the chicken. 

Generously salt and pepper the chicken on all sides. 

Sprinkle the finely chopped onions, lemon zest and dill ferns on top of the chicken.  Place the chicken into the Instant Pot.

Pour the chicken broth around the edge of the pot.

Cook

Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select  Poultry and adjust to more. When cooking is complete use a natural release to depressurize. Press Cancel.

Cooking time 25 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot 

to a baking sheet and let cool.

While the chicken is cooling  we will cook the vegetables.

In a large heavy soup pot, strain the broth from the Instant Pot into the soup pot. Add the remainder of the broth, carrots, celery, onions and seasons.  Bring to boil, cover the pot and

 cook on medium heat until the carrots are tender. 

Reduce the heat to simmer until you add the chicken.

After the chicken has cooled, debone the chicken

 and chop the chicken for the soup.

Add the chopped chicken and bring the soup to a slow boil, reduce the heat to simmer. Simmer until ready to serve.

To serve, garnish with dill fern, lemon zest and feta cheese.
