Ways to customize this soup
Feel free to switch up your veggies if you like! Here are a few vegetables you can use:
- Diced potato
- Zucchini
- Yellow squash

- Spinach (stir in fresh spinach leaves while the soup is finished cooking but still hot)
- Corn
Can you freeze this soup?
This is an easy meal to make ahead of time and freeze if meal prep is your jam. When reheating from frozen, let the soup thaw (sealed) in the refrigerator or in a sink of cool water. Pour thawed soup into a pot on the stovetop to reheat or in a large microwave safe bowl for the microwave.
30 Minute Stove Top Instructions
- Add the oil, onion, celery, and garlic to your soup pot. Sauté on medium high heat, stirring frequently, until onion is tender and the garlic has a bit of browning.
- Add all other ingredients to pot. Stir. Bring to a boil on high heat. Then cover and and reduce to a simmer (medium or medium low heat) for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Taste and add extra salt if you like. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve!
Instant Pot Chicken & Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1 medium white or yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced, about 1 cup
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, skinless, boneless, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 3 large carrots, chopped, about 2 cups
- 1 1/2 cups fresh green beans, cut into thirds
- 14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes, I prefer fire-roasted.
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Optional: fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. When it’s hot, add your oil and then the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic to the Instant Pot. Stir and sauté the onion until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Once done press the cancel button to stop sautéing.Â
- Add chicken stock, chicken, carrots, green beans, diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and onion powder to Instant Pot.
- Seal the Instant Pot. Set it to Pressure Cook (or Manual, depending on the model Instant Pot you have) on high pressure for 10 minutes. (If you're new to the Instant Pot keep in mind it will take about 15 minutes to come to pressure and begin counting down. Once it's come to pressure your 10 minutes of actual cooking time will begin.)
- Carefully release the steam once done. Taste and add more salt if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley (optional) before serving.

Hi Christina,
Thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s summer, but I feel like eating soups! What would you serve this with?
Well, I couldn’t wait any longer for a reply, and made it yesterday, and it was delicious. I didn’t feel like eating it with rice so I just doubled the portion, and added spicy sauce in it (It might be weird, but having lived in China for the past five years can do that to you).
Will absolutely make this recipe again. Thank you again for sharing it.
Have a good day!
Made this soup for my wife and I , We Loved it. Wil make this again.
This soup was easy and so good. I didn’t change a thing. Best chicken vegetable that I have made. Will definitely do it again. You could probably switch out chicken for beef and beef broth for chicken and have a great beef vegetable soup.Â
This soup was so delicious! Packed full of veggies and great flavor. It was the perfect soup for a cold winter’s night!
Love that, Julie! Thank you!
This was super easy and incredibly tasty! I added some frozen corn and peas as well since the filling to broth ratio seemed a little off to me and I wanted to add a little
more bulk. I’ll probably add these again and up the amount of chicken called for next time I make this. But really nice flavor and so easy to put together, this one will definitely be on regular dinner rotation. Thank you!!Â
So happy you enjoyed it, Andrea! Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent soup. I had to improvise on a couple ingredients. Â For example I did not have the fire roasted tomatoes, so I used fresh tomatoes and added some cayenne pepper. Â Gave it a nice kick.Â
Very tasty. The family really enjoyed it.Â
