Equipment

Ingredients

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3.5 cups carrots {peeled, chopped}
2.5 cups celery {chopped}
1 cup onion {diced}
4 cloves garlic {minced}
3.5 cups chicken broth
16 oz chicken breast {raw, cut into bite-sized pieces}
1 tsp tarragon {dried}
1 tsp parsley {dried}
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
16 oz gnocchi {shelf-stable}
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Melt butter with the Instant Pot on saute.
2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil

If you're pressed for time, melt the butter in the microwave.

Add the olive oil, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Stir to coat, and turn the Instant Pot off.
3.5 cups carrots, 2.5 cups celery, 1 cup onion, 4 cloves garlic
Add chicken broth, chicken, tarragon, parsley, smoked paprika, and gnocchi. Stir.
3.5 cups chicken broth, 1 tsp tarragon, 1 tsp parsley, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 16 oz chicken breast, 16 oz gnocchi
Lock the lid into place and set the steam release handle (valve on top) to “Sealing”. Press Manual>High Pressure>5 minutes.
When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, it will beep and switch to ”keep warm". Allow it to sit with the lid on for 15 minutes and then do a manual release with the nozzle set to venting.
Add in heavy cream, stir. Salt and pepper to taste.
1 cup heavy cream

Notes

If using precooked chicken, add it to the soup after it has finished cooking.
If you want to double the soup, the cook time remains the same, but it will take longer to come to pressure and depressurize. Make sure the ingredients don’t go above the max fill line and allow for a full natural release.
