Tonight we made it without the chicken, but almost doubled the kale and added the juice of one lemon and sprinkled peptitas on it. thank you for this! I strained out juices towards broth for soup and shredded 3 cups of the meat for soup and set rest aside for other meals. Next, put pot on saute mode and followed recipe adding veggies and stirring in bits from bottom of pot for 4 mins and then the mushrooms and garlic for 3 mins.

When done I turned off heat, added rest of ingredients, put lid on in venting and then set to slow cook setting on instant pot for 4 hrs. This soup is my absolute favorite and my family loves it!!!!!!! We make it at least once a month.

Thank you so much for sharing! Made this soup today following your recipe exactly. I have to say that it is incredible. The flavors and textures were so pleasing. I believe this soup will be an all time favorite in this house for years to come. Thank you for sharing. I recently became vegetarian, do you think swapping the chicken out for lentils as a protein source would work?

I made this for the first time. We really liked it, the kale added great texture. The only modifications I made was that I more than doubled the carrots and upon serving, added sliced jalapeños to each bowl for added depth and flavor.

This is easily my favorite soup ever. Been making it for a couple years now since I found this recipe. I usually stick to the exact recipe, but sometimes use extra veggies, adding beets, turnip, sweet potato, leeks, or anything else depending what I have.

And I always have plenty left over to freeze for later! This is probably TMI, but I loveeeee this soup. Is this normal?! Not used to turmeric in my diet, but aside from that, was wondering if this is normal with this recipe? Super flavorful, I love how much garlic is used. I had a can of black eyed peas in my pantry so I just used that and it was amazing.

I think I will just continue to use whatever beans are in my pantry. You could also add rice to make it heartier if you would like and I think it would still be good. Wow, this was soooo good, super healthy and flavorful!

I feel like I want to make several batches during this quarantine and give it to everyone I know! Thanks for the great recipe! Best soup EVER! I have made this 4 times now. amadeus some more tonight and used a few more mushrooms because i found myself digging for them last week lol.

Thank you for sharing! Pressure cook on normal for 38 minutes. Let cool. Meat will fall right off bones. Put that in soup. Along with the juices… Incredible! This recipe is absolutely delicious, heartwarming and healthy!

My 1 year old is all about this stuff. We also used organic veggie broth. Thanks for this delicious find!! This is one of my absolute favorites. So excited. Definitely going to be a lifetime favorite recipe.

We love, love, love this soup! It is so delicious, comforting and I feel like I am getting lots of antioxidants to keep me healthy. My husband and I highly recommend the soup every available to everyone!

I have made this soup many times. I love the flavor of the broth. I have also coverted it to vegetarian using vegetable broth and tofu.

It also is very good. This was a delicious. My friend shared this recipe with me. Family loved it as well. I made this soup the other day, and the spices are perfect, as well as, the vegetables……very delicious!!!

Hi there. I am watching my diet closely and am unsure of the accuracy of the nutrition information. Are you sure that the fat, sodium and carbs are close to accurate? Are you dividing by 8 servings?

Awesome soup. I did use chx thighs and added 2cups water. I used 1 tsp turmeric. Extra carrot. I make it almost every week. So filling and the turmeric makes it better than regular chicken noodle soup. This soup is absolutely delicious!

Just a slight kick and the flavor is amazing. I made the recipe as written but added fresh lemon juice from half a lemon and a teaspoon each of cayenne and smoked paprika. There was a typo, so sorry! This soup is phenomenal. So easy to prepare. My husband was coming in and out of the house while the soup was simmering.

It smells so dang good! It will be our winter favorite! Love the versatility of this recipe. Have made this several times and included what ever extra veggies were in the fridge.

It is so flavorful and very easy to make. You must try it!!! Not sure how you can make it in under 30 minutes? you have everything washed, sliced, chopped, shredded, measured out, etc. I need to figure our a way to cut out so much prep time!

Great recipe though! Just finished eating a bowl! This soup is soooo good and comes together quickly. I use rotisserie chicken to streamline the prep. I make this all the time! I substituted the garbanzo beans for cannellini beans. I also substituted the tumeric for paprika and added a dash of cayenne.

OMG it was so delicious and I have been feeling great! Thank you for the recipe! Oh, My. This is terrific. I love that it includes mushrooms. I just made it and am on my second bowl. I added a splash of apple cider vinegar and had to use spinach instead of Kale.

I also omitted the garbanzos. I was able to use chunks of frozen rotisserie chicken that I had saved in my freezer too a first. I will be making this recipe again and again. I am getting ready to start canning some soups and was thinking I could can this one.

Any pointers? Your recipe showed up in my feed today and I just to happen to be feeling under the weather.. I needed something hearty but quick for dinner. Thanks to the rotisserie chicken, this for the bill. We added a bit more red pepper for our taste. We really liked it and I shared on my Facebook feed.

Could I freeze this soup? What about canning it as well? Would like to have some available at all times as I constantly make it for sick friends and family members!

clean, flavorful, guilt free, healthy. I did add lemon juice at the end. It also took me a bit longer but maybe I am slow. I was concerned that it would have no flavor due to lack of seasonings etc but I was happily surprised.

Next time I will double so I can freeze some. Thank you so much for posting. I cannot wait to try more of your recipes and in the meantime, am completely hooked on this soup.

Thank you!!! This has helped keep my chicken nice and moist! I cooked and shredded my own chicken breast and used a mix of baby kale and baby spinach, otherwise just a directed. Very good! Love love love this recipe! TY -Xo Erin in Aus. This looks really good.

But if you Roasted a whole chicken and then used the juices and boiled the bones with other chicken broth you would be getting Bone broth in your soup which would make it even healthier for you.

My boyfriend and I love this soup! I love soup if it has a thick broth. How can I thicken the broth for this soup, can I add cornstarch without affecting the flavor?? You could add a little coconut cream to this to thicken it up or mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add that in.
