COOKBOOK / 30813
Start by adding the chicken, chicken broth, water, coconut cream, garlic chile paste, coconut aminos, lime juice, salt, ginger, and basil into your Instant Pot or any similar pressure cooker. Secure the lid and make sure it’s locked in place. Set the cooker to the Soup or Broth setting and let it cook for 30 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the cooking time begins.
Once the cooking is done, release the pressure slowly using the natural release method—this usually takes around 10 minutes. After that, carefully switch to the quick release to let out any remaining pressure, which should take about 5 minutes. When it’s safe to open, remove the lid and ladle the soup into bowls. Finish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a bright, fresh touch. Enjoy!
- Use fresh herbs like cilantro and basil to brighten the flavors just before serving.
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less chili paste according to your preference.
- Make sure to deglaze the pot well after sautéing to avoid the burn warning on your Instant Pot®.
This soup is packed with bold flavors and comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights. It’s low in carbs but high in protein and healthy fats, keeping you satisfied and energized. Using the Instant Pot® speeds up the cooking process without sacrificing taste.
Serve this soup hot with a squeeze of lime juice and extra fresh herbs on top. It pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed low-carb vegetables. For added texture, sprinkle some crushed peanuts or sliced green onions before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of coconut milk or broth if the soup has thickened. This soup also freezes well—thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
