Chicken, Brown Rice, and Vegetable Soup

Servings: 6
Author: Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • 6 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked organic brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 yellow squash, diced
  • fresh herbs, if desired
  • 4 to 6 lemon wedges, if desired

Instructions

  • Place the chicken, celery, potato, onion, vegetable broth, baby carrots, brown rice, parsley, minced garlic, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper inside of an electric pressure cooker and stir to combine.
  • Place the lid on the cooker and make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel, select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function, high pressure, and use the +/- buttons until the display says 12 minutes.
  • When the cooker beeps to let you know it’s finished, switch the vent valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Use caution while the steam escapes—it’s hot. Remove the lid and stir in the yellow squash. Place the lid back on the pot and let the squash cook for 2 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Serve warm with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
