Delicious Instant Pot Thai Chicken Rice Soup - a fragrant soup that is super quick and easy to make.
Thai food is probably up there as one of my favourites. I just love the fresh flavours and spiciness. Nothing quite as tasty on the palette as a delicious Thai Curry and that lovely creamy coconut milk.
So when I fancied putting together a quick soup today in the instant pot and saw the tub of Thai Red Curry Paste in my pantry. It just had to be a Thai Chicken Rice Soup.
Fresh vegetables, fragrant spices, rice and cooked chicken, what is there not to like?
Wait!! What's an Instant Pot? An Instant Pot is a brand of multi-function pressure cooker. It's one of my favourite cooking appliances. I love this thing so much, that I almost use it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute's, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven't tried that yet).

How about a ⅓ Vegetables in this Instant Pot Thai Chicken Rice Soup?
To the soup I added pepper, onion, carrot and mushrooms, literally using up what I had left in the fridge, as it was close to a grocery shop, so probably not quite your ⅓ veg, remember vegetabless are recommend but not compulsory.
You could really add any kind of vegetable to this dish, like sugar snap peas, different peppers, etc. Just bear in mind that if you do increase the vegetables quite a bit, you may need to also increase the liquid.

The coconut milk you've used in this recipe, is it one that is canned. Rather than the 'drink' used in your Curried Coconut Rice recipe?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
it's regular canned coconut milk (not light)
Lesley says
This looks amazing. Just wondering if you have any instructions for cooking it stove top instead of instant pot.
Becky says
