Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
  • 6 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 6 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 whole chicken (3 1/2 –4 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley plus more for garnish if desired
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the onion, 3 diced carrots, 3 diced celery stalks, garlic, whole chicken, 1 teaspoon of salt, bay leaves, thyme, and parsley to the pressure cooker.
  2. Fill with water until reaching the maximum fill line, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged.
  3. Seal the lid and cook on High Pressure for 45 minutes.
  4. Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
  5. Remove the chicken and place it in a bowl to cool.
  6. In a large pot, combine the remaining diced carrots and celery with a pinch of salt to taste.
  7. Strain the broth and cooked vegetables from the pressure cooker into the pot with the carrots and celery, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
  8. Simmer for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  9. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, shred the meat into bite-size pieces, and return it to the soup.
  10. Season with black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve as is or with noodles, pasta, or rice.
