Instant Pot Dairy Free Chicken And Gnocchi Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add oil, and select Saute function. Add chicken, pesto, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the hot pot, then pour in chicken broth.
• Place onion, bell pepper, and carrots on top of chicken and season with salt and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook until golden. Stir in flour until mixture thickens. Add garlic, oregano, and sage while continuously stirring, as a roux burns fast. Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk, stirring until all clumps are gone and sauce it thick, adding more milk as needed.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the Instant Pot®, let cool for 5 minutes, and dice into small cubes.
• While you are waiting for the chicken to cool, add gnocchi, basil, and roux mixture to the Instant Pot®. Close and lock the lid. Select low pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Slice spinach into strips; add to the cooker with chicken. Mix for 2 minutes to heat through before serving; the heat from the soup will cook the spinach quickly.
