Join the discussionLove 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
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.
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. 🙁
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!
Has anyone tried making this with uncooked rice?
Does anyone know if brown rice would work?
Brown rice should work fine! You may need to add an additional minute or so of cooking time, though!
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.
Pam, we’re so glad this recipe worked out for you and you enjoyed it! — HAPPY COOKING : )
What is the nutritional info on this recipe especilly the calories
Hi! We currently offer nutritional information for all of our recipes labeled “Diet” and “Paleo” an “Keto”.
If I double it how much time.. How many does this serving feed?
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.
Delicious!!!!
My family loves this soup and prefers it to chicken noodle anyday. I use brown rice and it has been great. Yes
