Time 1h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon salted butter
½ pound cubed boneless, skinless chicken breast
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped carrots
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chicken broth
½ (8 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 tablespoon chicken broth
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ cup fat-free half-and-half
¾ cup chopped fresh spinach
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and melt. Add chicken, onion, carrots, and garlic. Saute until chicken is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Hit Cancel.
  • Stir in 1 cup chicken broth. Push chicken and vegetables to one side of the pot. Add tortellini in a single layer to the other side. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon chicken broth and flour together in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in half-and-half. Microwave on high, stirring every 20 seconds, until mixture has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer flour slurry into the pot and stir to combine. Add spinach, thyme, garlic salt, and pepper. Stir until spinach has wilted. Serve immediately.

PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN TORTELLINI TOMATO SOUP



Pressure Cooker Chicken Tortellini Tomato Soup image

This comforting soup is a one-pot meal-in-a-bowl. The key to its deliciousness is the way in which the pressure cooker makes the soup taste as though it's been simmered for hours when, in fact, it's been only about 30 minutes. (You could also make the slow-cooker version of this recipe, if time is on your side.) Quick-cooking baby spinach works beautifully, but you can choose a different green if you prefer: If you use a heartier green, like chopped kale or chard, give it a few more minutes to get tender before adding the tortellini. If you're planning for leftovers, add only the tortellini you will eat right away. Left in the soup, they will overcook. Be generous with toppings; they make the soup even more delicious.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups chicken stock or broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably fire roasted
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Roughly chopped leaves from 3 to 4 sprigs fresh oregano (about 2 tablespoons chopped) or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as necessary
1 3/4 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
5 ounces baby spinach
1 (8- to 10-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup grated Parmesan, for serving
Torn or shredded fresh basil, for serving
Black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 6- or 8-quart electric pressure cooker, whisk together the tomato paste, stock and wine until the paste dissolves. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, oregano, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt. (If you are using unsalted stock, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.) Add the chicken thighs and stir to evenly combine all the ingredients. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. Turn on the sauté setting. If you would like a thicker soup (adding Parmesan at the end will thicken the soup as well), remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and allow the soup to bubble until the desired texture is reached, then stir the chicken back in. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts into the soup. Coarsely shred the chicken with two forks, pressing pieces of chicken against the side of the pot to break the thighs apart.
  • Stir in the tortellini and cook until they are al dente and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt if it tastes flat. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Parmesan, basil and black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your soup to add flavor and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, spinach, and tomatoes.
  • If you like a thicker soup, you can add more tortellini or use a cornstarch slurry.
  • For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese before serving.

Conclusion:

Instant Pot Chicken Tortellini Soup is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The soup is packed with flavor and is sure to please the whole family. Be creative and adjust the ingredients to your liking, and enjoy a delicious and comforting soup in no time!
