Pressure Cooker Chicken White Bean Soup

Posted on by bryce

Add these to a pressure cooker, I use an 8 quart one:

  • 1 pound dry cannellini or northern white beans
  • 6-8 cups unsalted or low salt chicken broth, ideally half unsalted, half low salt
  • 1 chopped yellow or sweet onion
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry rosemary, or 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
  • 4 ounce or half cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 lbs chicken breast
  • 1 10.5 oz can of cream of chicken soup

Pressure cook on high for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Then add these:

  • 4-6 cups chopped kale
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves or 1.5 tablespoons dry parsley

Put the pressure cooker on slow-cooker mode on high and cook for another 30 minutes, mainly to wilt the kale.
