Neena’s Instant Pot Chicken Curry Soup

By Lynda · Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

Neena’s Instant Pot Chicken Curry Soup is inspired by the recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Curry Soup on PaintTheKitchenRed.com created by Neena (hence the name).

The rich coconut curry soup base is loaded with chicken and flavor and will make you forget about all other chicken soups.  (Except for Neena’s original recipe, of course.)

I met Neena at a conference and after she told me about her blog, I had to check it out.  (You should check it out, too!  Click here to go to Paint The Kitchen Red.)  Neena is a bit of an Instant Pot expert and her posts are quite comprehensive.  If you have ever been wary of using an Instant Pot – don’t be.  Just check out her blog and follow her detailed step-by-step directions.

There are a few changes that I made to Neena’s recipe, mainly because my family prefers white meat.  This has become my husband’s favorite recipe this season and my children love it, too.

For the original recipe and no-fail directions, click here.  You’ll love it, especially if you like dark meat.  For my spin on the soup, read on.

Chicken Soup in an Instant Pot

Since I use shredded chicken breast meat, there are two options that I can take– either pressure cook chicken breasts and use the meat right away, or use frozen shredded chicken breast meat (there’s no need to thaw it in an Instant Pot).   If I don’t have any frozen shredded chicken breast meat ready, then I cook a double batch and freeze half for later and use the other half in the recipe.  (Click here for how to pressure cook chicken breasts in an Instant Pot.)

We like to serve the soup over cooked rice, but you can omit that if you don’t like rice or if you are cutting back on carbs.  Either way, it’s delicious!

P.S.
One suggestion that my husband had was to add more spinach!  Who’d a thunk it?
