  1. Love chicken soup. Having trouble understanding if chicken and rice are already cooked before placing in instant pot to make soup. Where are the “d”s in the ingredient list. Thanks, Sue

    1. Sue, we’re sorry for the confusion. Yes, the rice and chicken would be already cooked. The system that we use to input the ingredients does not add the ‘ed’ in cooked, and since it is automated, it’s not something we can change. Sorry for that inconvenience.

  2. If one were to use uncooked chicken, how much longer would it take? I didn’t read the recipe close enough when I was throwing it together for a freezer meal when I was pregnant and threw the chicken in uncooked. 🙁

    1. That’s ok!! This post will help you determine the best time! If you have more questions you’re welcome to pop into chat in the bottom right-hand corner. Bon appetite!

  3. I made this tonight. I used UNCOOKED rice and thawed chicken tenderloins. It was awesome. I did not add any time at all. The broth is so rich and smooth.

    1. Hi! We currently offer nutritional information for all of our recipes labeled “Diet” and “Paleo” an “Keto”.

    1. As indicated, right below the picture, this soup is meant to feed 4. For this recipe, if you double it you shouldn’t need to add more cook time but it will likely take longer to come to pressure. And be sure that it isn’t over the MAX line.
