Instant Pot: Chicken & Quinoa Soup is the perfect cozy meal for easy weeknight dinners on the go, and ready in under 30 minutes. Hey there, friends. This is Jennifer from JENRON DESIGNS, sharing her Instant Pot Chicken & Quinoa Soup.
When I am looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner everyone loves, my go-to is Instant Pot: Chicken & Quinoa Soup. This is a nice hearty soup perfect for cooler temperatures and cozy fall nights.
The first thing you need to do is set your Instant Pot to Sauté setting. Add olive oil and frozen Mirepoix Mix ( In Cajun and Creole cuisine, a mirepoix is a combination of onions, celery, and bell peppers), saute’ until translucent approximately 5 mins. Cut the chicken into 1″ chunks and coat with Herbs De Provence. Add to pot and brown, an additional 5 minutes. Repeat for Sausage which is optional, but adds a great flavor to this recipe.
Add mushrooms, broth, Quinoa, and Knorr Chicken Bouillon to pot and stir. Place lid on the pot and set to High-Pressure Cook for 10 minutes.
Allow to cool and natural vent or decompress before opening. I love to garnish with thyme and chives, serve with a chunk of crusty bread French Bread for dipping.
