Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add chopped celery, diced carrots, chopped onions, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
- For Instant Pot, chop the Yukon Gold potatoes and add to the pot, layer the chicken on top, and pour in chicken broth until covered. For crockpot or stovetop, layer raw chicken over vegetables, add potatoes, then broth.
- If using the Instant Pot, seal and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes, allow natural release for 5 minutes. For stovetop, simmer covered for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
- Remove the chicken and a couple of potato pieces. Blend the potatoes with 1 cup of milk and a splash of broth until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot with shredded chicken.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Stir in herbs for added flavor. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes
Using rotisserie chicken can save time. The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months, but texture might change due to the potatoes.
