Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 carrots, halved and thinly sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • 1 bay leaf
  • chopped herbs, for garnish (parsley, cilantro, basil, etc.)
  • ½ lemon, for finishing

Preparation

  1. Put the chicken and stock into the cooking pot of the Cuisinart® Multicooker. Secure the lid and select Soup. Set the pressure to High, the time for 20 minutes, and press Start.
  2. When the tone sounds, allow pressure to release naturally.
  3. Once pressure is completely released, open the lid. Add the salt, pepper, carrots, celery, thyme, and bay leaf to the cooking pot. Secure the lid and select Soup. Set temperature to High, the time for 3 minutes, and press Start.
  4. When the tone sounds, press the Steam Release button to quickly release pressure. Remove lid and discard the thyme sprigs.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley before serving.

NOTE: For chicken noodle soup, add 1 cup of egg noodles with the sliced veggies and increase cooking time to 5 minutes.
