Creamy, Lemony Chicken and Potato Soup: An Instant Pot Soup

Well, it’s come to this. I’ve made my first Instant Pot soup.

This hearty chicken and potato Instant Pot soup is bursting with flavor.  It’s creamy and has fresh squeezed lemon juice to add brightness making it perfect for a weeknight meal.

I’m already an Instant Pot believer but I haven’t tried my hand at soups for one simple reason: I love the process of making soup. There is something about the sautéing and adding of flavors, spices, and veggies to a soup pot that brings me to my happy place.

The way a pot of soup fills a home with warmth and aroma will always be magical to me. I will never get over it.

So, how did we come to this? Well, I had some chicken breasts on hand and I didn’t really want to go through the process of sautéing them on the stovetop and then shredding them. And this is how the Instant Pot got her chance to shine. Enter this recipe. (For anyone without an Instant Pot, method for the Slow Cooker is below in the recipe card!)

Creamy, Lemony Chicken and Potato Soup: An Instant Pot Soup

It’s still cold enough here that a big bowl of soup is the ultimate comfort. But I am aggressively beckoning spring so I wanted a soup that was a little brighter. Not as heavy. A reminder that warmer days are around the corner.

This hearty chicken and potato Instant Pot soup is bursting with flavor.  It’s creamy and has fresh squeezed lemon juice to add brightness making it perfect for a weeknight meal.

I start with sautéing my veggies in the Instant Pot on the sauté function. Then I add the chicken and chicken broth and put that business under high pressure for 10 minutes. TEN MINUTES.

The chicken was so juicy and it shred easily with two forks.

The shining star of this soup? Fresh lemon juice and cream which we add at the end to finish the soup.

And just like that, I know I’ll be making more soups in the Instant Pot.

Creamy, Lemony Chicken and Potato Soup: An Instant Pot Soup

  • Author: Bri McKoy

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 lbs butter potatoes, quartered
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried Italian Seasoning (you can use dried Italian herbs but Italian Seasoning really adds a deeper flavor profile)
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs 
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese or 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Optional: top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese!

Instructions

Instant Pot Method:

  1. Set the Instant Pot function to sauté. Add 1 TBS oil and allow to heat up. 
  2. Add carrots, onion, and potatoes. Sauté for three minutes. 
  3. Add garlic, oregano, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper. Sauté for one more minute. 
  4. Add chicken and chicken stock. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to “Sealing.” 
  5. Place on High Pressure for 10 minutes. 
  6. Allow for the pressure to release naturally for about 5-10 minutes. After 5-10 minutes, move the valve to “Vent” and remove lid. 
  7. Place IP to sauté function (this will keep the soup cooking while we add additional ingredients). Move chicken to a bowl or cutting board and shred with two forks (or you can shred with a stand or hand mixer).  Place chicken back into the IP.
  8. Add the mascarpone cheese (or cream) and mix until the mascarpone is melted and combined. Then add the lemon juice. Stir until incorporated. Turn off Instant Pot (or put on “Keep Warm” setting).
  9. Serve with fresh cracked black pepper and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. 

Crock-Pot Method

  1. If your crockpot has a sauté function, set to sauté and follow steps 1-4 above. If your crockpot does not have a sauté function, just add all ingredients into crockpot. 
  2. Once chicken and chicken stock are in the crockpot, place the lid on top. Set to cook for 3 hours on high or 5 hours on low. (The chicken is done when it hits 165 degrees F. It should easily shred with a fork). 
  3. Remove chicken from crockpot to a bowl or cutting board and shred with two forks. (Or you can use a stand or hand mixer to shred.)
  4. Place chicken back into crockpot. Add the mascarpone cheese (or cream) and mix until the mascarpone is melted and combined. Add lemon juice. Stir to incorporate. 
  5. Serve with fresh cracked black pepper and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.  

Notes

You can freeze this soup for up to one month is a freezer-safe container. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator over night. Heat when ready to eat.

    Bri!! This is SO delicious!! I subbed the cream off the top of a can of coconut milk in place of the mascarpone/heavy cream, because we try to avoid dairy (and I didn’t have mascarpone or heavy cream anyway). It worked perfectly and I can’t wait to make this again! The lemon is such a nice touch! ReplyCancel

      I’m so glad to read this! I’m dairy free and was wondering if coconut milk made a good substitute! ReplyCancel

    Please do yourself a favor and make this soup!! It is so yummy and easy! My family loved it and already asked to have it again soon. Thanks for such a great recipe Bri! ReplyCancel

  • SydFebruary 27, 2020 - 5:22 pm

    This is the best chicken soup I’ve ever made! My family loves it, even the ones who aren’t huge soup or chicken fans RAVE about this soup. It’s immediately going into our regular rotation for winter and fall. AMAZING ReplyCancel

  • ErinFebruary 27, 2020 - 5:26 pm

    I have found the soup whom my soul loves. 
    I don’t like soup, but I LOVED this. I always pour out leftover broth, but I drank this from a mug. I ate it for breakfast AND dinner (only missed lunch because it kept me full that long). It’s SIMPLE and surprising! 
    So fast. Easy cleanup. Leftovers I long for. Everything I’m looking for in a recipe. ReplyCancel

    OooH Girl, you gone done and did it with this one!! Not only was it easy as all get out, but the layers of flavor in a soup made under 30 minutes was amazing!! This one is going on the regular rotation…with that lemony goodness I think I could even make this during the Arizona summer!! 3 CHEERS for citrus!! 🍋🍋ReplyCancel

  • LauraFebruary 27, 2020 - 6:06 pm

    This is a delicious recipe! So easy to make (my 11yo made this for us) and the mascarpone and lemon added at the end take the flavor to unforgettable. My kids were arguing as they were eating who got to take the leftovers for lunch! 
    Will definitely make again and again! Thanks Bri for another delicious recipe to bring to the table. 🤩ReplyCancel

  • RachelFebruary 27, 2020 - 6:09 pm

    This recipe was so easy and so delicious! My kids can be picky and it’s rare that they all like the same food. This one was enjoyed by all and they asked for seconds! They are 9,11, and 13 and they don’t hold back their feelings. 
    Plus. I’m new to the instapot and it worked perfectly for this recipe. Thanks, Bri, for continuing to help me fill my family’s bellies.ReplyCancel

  • Gayle RobertsonFebruary 27, 2020 - 6:13 pm

    Good morning! Just wanted to tell you this morning that last night coincidentally my daughter made the Lemony, Potato Chicken Soup for her family and my husband and I made it last night too! She texted me last night to say how delicious it was and I said I know!!  we just had it for dinner too! My husband is a big foodie and he said last night “that Bri – she sure does know how to put her flavors together she is always spot on!”
    I reminded him that in the three years since we have been devouring your recipes every single one has been a favorite for us! 💯🥰ReplyCancel

  • Danielle KwokFebruary 27, 2020 - 6:53 pm

    Made this for dinner and it was so delicious! My husband loved it to and he’s not usually a soup-for-dinner kind of guy. It was great as lunch leftovers as well! Going in my rotation of recipes. Thanks Bri!ReplyCancel

  • RoxanneFebruary 27, 2020 - 6:59 pm

    STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOINGA ND MAKE THIS IMMEDIATELY! It is so so good and honestly the easiest soup to make. I made it for my family and my little brother and we are the whole thing in one sitting. I can’t stress how good this is. GO MAKE IT NOW! ❤️ReplyCancel

  • Gwen SitschFebruary 27, 2020 - 7:47 pm

    As a soup lover, I have a list of favorite recipes on rotation.  Bri’s Creamy, Lemony Chicken and Potato Soup hit my chart at  #1.  I made it using the Instant Pot method and had soup, chopping to serving, within an hour (with less than 15 minutes of actual work on my part.)  The most amazing thing is the soup has the taste of one that has slow simmered all day to let the flavors marry. Tuscany meets lemon and cream—what a dreamily delicious combination. Hiding the leftovers for myself.  Bri is my food expert.  ReplyCancel

  • KylieFebruary 27, 2020 - 8:00 pm

    This soup was delicious!! And easy enough that I was able to make it between calls as I work from home. Have already shared with multiple friends and can’t wait to eat the leftovers for dinner tonight! ReplyCancel

  • Ruthie PetersonFebruary 27, 2020 - 8:07 pm

    This recipe … it is amazing! So easy to pull together – I always listen to Bri – she knows about food and spices  and what works together. This will be on repeat here!ReplyCancel

  • AlisonFebruary 27, 2020 - 8:30 pm

    This one feels like the perfect thing to eat as we transition from winter into spring. I still want the comfort of a soup, without it being too heavy. Plus, it was so lovely to have it cook away in the crockpot all day. My husband was skeptical about the lemon, but I told him, “Bri has yet to steer me wrong with food. Let’s try it.” Needless to say, we all loved this soup.ReplyCancel

  • AngelaFebruary 27, 2020 - 9:18 pm

    Delicious!!  I made the crockpot recipe as written – using heavy whipping cream.  My house smells so good and the soup is full of flavor!  Will definitely make this recipe again!ReplyCancel

  • Kaitlyn BasaranFebruary 27, 2020 - 9:23 pm

    Bri! This soup is so yummy! Thanks for consistently sharing delicious, easy, and reliable recipes. I never worry about if your recipes will work out because they always do! Made this soup for my non-souplover of a husband and he LOVED it, as did I! We had some spinach so I added it in once the cooking was complete and let it wilt in the hot broth! Delicious! ReplyCancel

  • ValFebruary 27, 2020 - 10:10 pm

    Gurrrl!!! I was one of the people who bought these ingredients the day you posted — literally refreshing my inbox until it arrived in my inbox after you posted about it. When I made it, my 5 year old (being a, well, 5 year old) said that dinner doesn’t smell very good 🙄 Well did we prove him wrong — he ate THREE, FULL BOWLS and kept asking his dad and his brother if they tried it bc it was the best thing ever!!! He has also been telling strangers about it. Not even kidding. So thank you for making me a hit with my family and strangers alike; you’re a legendReplyCancel

    This soups was Amazing and I have since shared with three people!  So delicious!  I read your book a few years ago and love how your journey of food has evolved!  Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!ReplyCancel

  • EmilyFebruary 27, 2020 - 11:58 pm

    Such a bright yet warm, comforting soup on this cold day!  I too subbed coconut milk for cream just because that’s what I had on hand. (Don’t worry I still tipped with parm though 🤣) Super easy weeknight dinner! ReplyCancel

  • AnneFebruary 28, 2020 - 12:04 am

    My husband keeps telling me how amazing this soup was – and I made it last night. Still talking about it. I left out the cream because we don’t do much dairy here and I didn’t have a replacement at the moment. ReplyCancel

  • ClaireFebruary 28, 2020 - 12:15 am

    This was so delicious that I sent the recipe to several friends and encouraged them to make it. I’m excited to have another soul to put in my go-to rotation! I just made it on the stovetop with chicken tenders to speed things up a bit. ReplyCancel

    I made this soup earlier this week, & have been enjoying it for lunch every day!  It’s so simple to make, but rich in flavour!  Loooooove the freshness of the lemon! ReplyCancel

  • MollieFebruary 28, 2020 - 2:58 am

    So so yummy! I used half and half because that’s what we had on hand and it still was so good! Next time I will use mascarpone like you suggest. Loved how light this was because of the lemon but hearty and comforting. Thank you, Bri! ReplyCancel

  • JessicaFebruary 28, 2020 - 4:10 am

    This is a delicious soup! I made it in the crock pot for a potluck at work. I sautéed the vegetables and chicken with olive oil in a cast iron skillet before adding them and it added a ton of flavor that I could have missed out on since I don’t have an instant pot. All of my co-workers loved it (and me too)!ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth HighsmithFebruary 28, 2020 - 4:49 am

    Going to be THAT person because I want to eat THIS!!!! If one should have no instapot or crockpot because they live in an itty bitty house would this work on the stove top? And if THAT person was THIS lazy could she, he, they, us, it use the rotisserie chicken hack??? ReplyCancel

    • Bri McKoyFebruary 28, 2020 - 1:05 pm

      This will definitely work on the stove top! Saute the veggies in a soup pot (just like the recipe suggests). Add the chicken broth and let come to a boil. Turn to medium low heat and simmer for 10 minutes (until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork). Add the rotisserie chicken (I LOVE this hack) and then add the mascarpone cheese/cream and the lemon juice. Enjoy!ReplyCancel

        I’ve made this several times in the last few months and tonight I’m trying this method with turkey meat and stock out of the freezer from Thanksgiving! It is one of my favorites and I think one of the reasons is that it actually has enough salt to taste all the delicious flavors. ReplyCancel

Easy and DELICIOUS 😋 AND cooking time in the Instant Pot only a little over 10 min. What more could you ask for a satisfying & quick meal?!!!

  • KateFebruary 28, 2020 - 11:08 am

    When I told my husband what I was making that night he was skeptical, and I just told him, don’t worry, Bri has good taste, it’ll be great! My 4 & 7 year old loved it and ate every last bite, husband said it’s a keeper and asked that I make it again, and we loved the citrus note. It wasn’t in your face, but made the dish feel lighter, like the snow will melt eventually.I used chopped rotisserie chicken pieces from my freezer (being lazy) and it was so super easy to prep. I’ve been hiding from the grocery store this week and I had everything on hand to make this, and served it with biscuits. Thanks for a great dinner!ReplyCancel

  • DeniseMarch 2, 2020 - 9:16 pm

    This is the best soup. THE BEST SOUP. It’s hearty and yet bright, so it’s perfect for winter and early spring. And it is THE best soup for when you’re fighting a cold; chicken soup plus the lemon juice makes for some kind of magic, I am telling you. I made it twice in one week and my cold went away. And no one in my family complained, because this soup is that good. I never comment on recipes, but I felt like y’all need to know!ReplyCancel

  • TisaMarch 15, 2020 - 7:11 pm

    Hello,
    Would you mind clarifying your Instant Pot step 6? Is it a quick release or after the 10 minutes of cooking is done you wait another 5-10 and then open the valve, which is termed a ‘natural release’? Your step reference a ‘manual release’ that isn’t in the Instant Pot instruction manual. Thank you!ReplyCancel

    • Bri McKoyMarch 15, 2020 - 8:06 pm

      Sorry for this confusion! After 10 minutes, allow the pressure to release naturally. Natural Pressure Release, and then move the valve to venting to follow the additional steps.ReplyCancel

    I decided to make this during quarantine. I don’t have an insta pot and didn’t want to wait all day to make it in the crockpot. So I reached out to bri for instructions on making it on the stove. She sent me fantastic instructions. The soup was incredible! This recipe is being added to my soup rotation for next winter! ReplyCancel

  • JulieApril 8, 2020 - 3:47 am

    I made a half batch of this soup on the stove since it’s just me and added a couple big handfuls of kale at the end to add some green. I also didn’t have any cream on hand so I used whole milk and an extra tablespoon or so of butter. Turned out great! Thanks for the yummy recipe, Bri!ReplyCancel

  • Autumn BarrowApril 13, 2020 - 10:58 pm

    This soup is light but SO comforting! It’s packed full of flavor and adds a great variation to my soup arsenal. I’m usually stuck with tomato based soups, so this is such a welcome change. I made this with vegetable stock and roasted some chicken thighs separately so I could keep some aside as a vegetarian option and it is still very delicious. Dinner is saved by Bri once again!ReplyCancel

    Do you think it would be okay on low in a slow cooker for 8-9 hours? Or would the vegetables get too mushy?ReplyCancel

    • Bri McKoySeptember 9, 2020 - 4:25 pm

      You can do it in the slow cooker, I would do low for 6-7 hours and check to see if the chicken easily shreds with a fork. As for the veggies, they should be fine because they are able to stand up to the high, very hot temperature in the IP!ReplyCancel

Turn to medium low heat and simmer for 10 minutes (until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork). Add 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (I LOVE this hack) and then add the mascarpone cheese/cream and the lemon juice. Enjoy!ReplyCancel

    Hi Bri I discovered you today on the organizational summit, your energy is amazing going to try a few of your recipes. I did though think this one was lemonade Chicken and potato soup. Lemonade in Australia is 7 up or sprite! So I was relieved to find it was actually a lemony soup. Cheers from Melbourne Australia. I have now subscribed to all your social media. JodieReplyCancel

  • AmyOctober 23, 2021 - 6:59 pm

    Another winner from Bri! 🎉 This was beyond easy to make on a regular Thursday night (even though I only had cream cheese on hand, it was still really tasty). To make it a little thicker, I added an arrowroot slurry and mashed the potatoes a tiny bit. It’s like avgolemono and chicken pot pie had a baby. This recipe is worth the price of admission for The Soup alone!ReplyCancel

    5 stars. So simple and delish. I made it on the stove, took about 30-40ish mins for the chicken to cook.

    Question: I am not sure what “dried Italian seasoning” is vs. Italian herbs. Can anyone shed light? Thank you!ReplyCancel

    I accidentally put the lemon juice in after the stock, did I just mess up the recipe??ReplyCancel

    Dumb question: what is the difference between Italian herbs and Italian seasoning??🤦‍♀️ReplyCancel

    • Bri McKoySeptember 26, 2022 - 6:57 pm

      Not a dumb question😊 There’s not that big of a difference and you can use either the seasoning or the dried Italian herbs!ReplyCancel

    This is THE BEST soup recipe I think I’ve ever had! There is so much flavor and its so easy to make. The only thing I will say is 3 tsp of salt was a little much for us, I will be using less next time. This will be on rotation at our house!ReplyCancel

    • KatiFebruary 19, 2023 - 8:09 pm

      Also, we like to double the broth!ReplyCancel

    What a find! What a keeper! This is such a delicious, low effort – high reward, utterly satisfying meal! Cheater disclosure: I subbed pulled rotisserie chicken, and I also added the lemon zest. I will make this again and again!!!ReplyCancel

    Looks so good – what is a good sub for a dairy free version ? ReplyCancel

    You are one of the few bloggers that answers questions. Nice! ReplyCancel

  • EmmiFebruary 11, 2023 - 12:11 am

    Absolutely in love with this soup!ReplyCancel

    I had the ingredients on hand and this recipe really let me embrace the use of my insta-pot. Simple, seasoned it to my family taste “aka I dint have all the seasonings” but I used sauté feature, to pressure cooker to keep warm. and have left overs for late night meal or work at home lunch. Thanks for the win    ReplyCancel

    Two questions! How many does this serve? And would you lose flavor if you used shredded rotisserie chicken instead?ReplyCancel

    • Bri McKoyApril 17, 2023 - 7:06 pm

      This will give you 5-6 bowls of soup and you can absolutely use rotisserie chicken, just add it in at the end so it does not dry out!ReplyCancel
