Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 cups carrots that have been sliced lengthwise and cut into 3/4-inch slices
1 cup sliced celery with leaves
1 medium leek, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup farro, rinsed
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat oil in the hot pot and add carrots, celery, and leek. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in thyme, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour broth into the pot, add farro, and stir. Push chicken breasts down into the liquid. Close and lock the lid.
  • Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer chicken to a clean work surface and roughly chop; return to the pot and stir. Taste and adjust salt. Serve.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some leftover vegetables and it turned out great.

This soup is a little too salty for my taste. I would reduce the amount of salt next time.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty, flavorful, and filling. I love that I can make it in my Instant Pot so I don't have to heat up my kitchen.

I'm not a big fan of farro, but I really enjoyed this soup. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the broth was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different grain next time.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I would add more spices and herbs next time.

I was skeptical about making soup in my Instant Pot, but I'm glad I tried it. This soup turned out amazing! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the farro was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this soup a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make and the ingredients are affordable. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup was a hit! The chicken was tender and juicy, the farro was cooked perfectly, and the broth was flavorful and satisfying. I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and they turned out great too. Definitely a keeper!
