How to Make Instant Pot Coconut Curry Chicken Soup

In the Instant Pot, add the chicken broth, red curry paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce. 

Using The Saute Function On The Instant Pot

Turn on the Saute setting, and heat just until curry paste and brown sugar are melted and blended into broth. 

Turn off the Saute setting, and add minced garlic, chopped onion, sliced celery, shredded carrots, red pepper, yellow pepper, chopped chicken, garbanzo beans, and rice. 

Stir all together until well blended.  Add enough water to cover all ingredients. 

Cooking The Coconut Curry Soup In The Instant Pot

Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and make sure the pressure valve is set on ‘SEALING’.  

Press the MANUAL button and set the time to 6 minutes. 

Allow the pressure to build and release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick release the pressure, by turning the valve to ‘VENTING’, and allowing all the pressure (steam) to be released, and the float valve to drop down. 

Open the lid to the Instant Pot, and stir the soup, allowing it to cool a bit.  Add the Coconut milk, and stir well.  

Serve in soup bowls, and sprinkle parsley on top of soup before serving.  Enjoy!

NOTE:  Shake the can of coconut milk before adding to soup.  Make sure soup is not boiling when coconut milk is added to prevent curdling. 

ALSO:  If you’re not familiar with the Instant Pot, read the instruction manual that came with the instant pot to learn where the pressure valve is, where the float valve is, and where the ‘SEALING AND VENTING’ settings are.  

Make sure you read the section about doing a ‘quick release’ of pressure for the Instant Pot.
