This Instant Pot Paleo Lemon Chicken Vegetable Soup is a healthy, hearty meal that is simple and flavorful, and warm and comforting.

Servings: 8
Ingredients
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 5 carrots sliced thin
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Add the oil to the instant pot and set it to saute.  Add the garlic, onion and celery to the instant pot and stir for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

  2. Add the carrots to the instant pot. Then place the chicken breasts into the pot along with the broth and water.

  3. Place the lid onto the instant pot and lock it, and make sure it is set to "sealing."  Set the instant pot to manual or high pressure for 12 minutes.

  4. Once the pressure has built up and the soup has cooked for 12 minutes, do a quick release of pressure.

  5. Remove the lid.  Remove the chicken from the instant pot and shred with two forks, then replace.

  6. Add the thyme into the pot and stir.  Then add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Serve and enjoy!
