Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Soup (Instant Pot Recipe: Gluten Free and Whole 30 Compliant)

11/11/2016 by The Mama Maven

On Mondays, I work up way uptown in NYC, near Columbia University. And when I can get out for lunch, I like to frequent a local restaurant for falafel. One time I was there, I saw that a chicken sweet potato and kale soup was on the menu. Intrigued, I decided to order it. I was worried that it would be too spicy, but alas – it was absolutely perfect.

So much so that every Monday I would go back and order it. I had asked the manager for the recipe and she never sent it to me. No worries– after googling it, I found Skinny Taste’s recipe and adapted for my taste and to use in my beloved Instant Pot. Enjoy this recipe for Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Kale Soup.. but in the Instant Pot.

Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Soup in the Instant Pot - Gluten Free, Paleo, Whole 30 Compliant #healthy | The Mama Maven Blog

This is a gluten free soup and Whole 30 compliant. And it’s absolutely delicious.

You’re welcome.

Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Soup (Instant Pot)

Ingredients:
3 small sweet potatoes, cubed
3 32-oz containers of reduced-sodium chicken broth (12 cups of broth). I used Swanson’s Natural Goodness Broth (no MSG and it’s Gluten Free, but the sodium is still on the higher side- 570mg).
1 package chicken breast or chicken tenders, cut up
1 container Trader Joe’s Mirapoix (carrots, celery, and onions) — can sub in 1/2 onion: 3 carrots: 3 celery stalks to equal these.
Salt to taste
Extra Virgin olive oil to taste (you can sub in coconut oil)
Baby Kale (one bag)
Oregano to taste
Thyme to taste

Instructions:
Set your Instant Pot to the Saute setting.
Add olive oil to coat the bottom (2-3 tablespoons should do it). Add more if you need it.
Add mirapoix (carrots, celery, and onions).

Then add your cut up raw chicken breast.
Stir and cook until the chicken is no longer pink
Shut off (hit off) your Instant Pot.
Add everything BUT the kale to your Instant Pot.

Add spices.

Seal your lid and set the knob to “Sealing”.
Set it to high pressure for 8 minutes.

When it’s done, let it do a natural pressure for 10-15 minutes (ie. turn it off and don’t touch it).
Release the vent so any steam goes out.
Open your Instant Pot and add your baby kale.

Close the lid and lock it. Set it for another minute on high pressure.
Do a quick release (release the vent when it’s done and watch out for the steam).

If you don’t have an Instant Pot (you should get one!). Seriously, if you don’t,  use my ingredients, but follow Skinny Taste’s directions!

My daughter loved this soup.

          I don’t think so. I would keep the same. Mine was almost at the top.

    Did you mean to set the vent to Venting instead of Sealing??? I followed your directions exactly as my first try with IP, but the timer never kicked in (which I assumed it was from the vent being open and pressure couldn’t build).

    Can you please clarify? Thanks.

      Hi Diana,
      I’m so sorry, it should have been on sealing. However, pressure should have built anyway. Were you able to salvage your soup?
