Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In your Instant Pot, combine chicken broth, red curry paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Use the sauté setting to heat until the curry paste and brown sugar dissolve completely into the broth.
  • Turn off the sauté setting, and add minced garlic, chopped onion, sliced celery, shredded carrots, red and yellow peppers, rotisserie chicken, garbanzo beans, and rice. Stir everything together until well blended.
  • Pour in enough water to cover all ingredients.
  • Close the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the pressure valve is set to ‘SEALING’. Press the MANUAL button and set the time for 6 minutes.
  • After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release by turning the valve to ‘VENTING’.
  • Open the lid, stir the soup, and let it cool slightly. Add the coconut milk and mix well. Your delicious soup is ready to be served!

Notes

Garnish the soup with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. A squeeze of lime juice enhances flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze portions without coconut milk for later use.
