Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup Recipes

INSTANT POT WILD RICE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Leave them to soak while you make the recipe.
• Dice the onion. Thinly slice the celery. Cut the carrot into rounds. Slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic.
• Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot and turn on Saute mode. Add the onion, celery and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and oregano and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add the broth, wild rice, dried white beans, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and black pepper. Lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Place the pressure release handle (vent) in the "Sealing" position.
• Cook on High Pressure for 45 minutes: Press the Pressure Cook button, making sure the "High Pressure" setting is selected, and set the time. Note that it takes about 5 to 10 minutes for the pot to "preheat" and come up to pressure before it starts cooking. (During cooking, avoid touching the metal part of the lid.)
• Vent the remaining steam from the Instant Pot by moving the pressure release handle to "Venting", covering your hand with a towel or hot pad. Never put your hands or face near the vent when releasing steam. Open the pressure cooker lid. Taste a bean to see if it is tender (bean brands can vary). If not, cook on High Pressure for another 5 minutes and do a quick release.
• Using a liquid measuring cup, carefully remove 2 cups of the hot soup (including the broth, veggies and rice) to a blender. Drain the cashews and add them to the blender with the dried sage. Blend on high for about 1 minute until creamy. Then pour back into the soup.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and the soy sauce. Taste, and adjust seasonings as desired. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh ground pepper.

• Stir in carrots, celery and wild rice. Place chicken in even layer over wild rice mixture. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 45 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure. Using slotted spoon or tongs, carefully transfer chicken to cutting board; let stand about 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle, then chop.
