This chicken and rice soup recipe is such a quick and easy weeknight dinner that tastes amazing! Make it in an Instant Pot or on the stove-top, either way, it is delicious!
If you need a quick weeknight meal, this chicken and rice soup recipe will hit the mark! It is so easy to throw together and done in literally minutes if you have a pressure cooker like an Instant Pot.
I love that I can get dinner done in just a few minutes with my Instant Pot. If you’re making this Instant Pot chicken soup, it’s important to cube the chicken so that it is all the same size. This makes sure that everything will cook evenly and at the same time.
I also like to make sure the veggies are chopped in similar sizes. Again, this helps everything cook evenly in the Instant Pot.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot or another brand of pressure cooker, don’t stress! This homemade chicken and rice soup can easily be made on the stovetop. It does take a few more minutes and a little bit more work but it’s still such an easy and quick recipe.
As with all soups, it’s very important to season the soup well! Adding enough salt to the soup really enhances all the rest of the flavors. Make sure you taste the soup before you serve it, that is the best way to make sure it’s seasoned to perfection!
