There are few foods in the world that say comfort food as much as chicken pot pie. I can't even tell you how many I ate as a child, but it's definitely more than you did. I especially liked the brands that had crust on the top and bottom! So making it into a soup, while eating a bite of crescent roll or puff pastry with each bite, has made me a happy man. This version of Instant Pot chicken pot pie soup is easy to make, full of rich and full-bodied flavor, and surprisingly gluten-free - without the bread, obviously.

    I love how this uses homemade broth 🙂 I haven't made broth in the IP yet, but definitely wanted to! This will be my first go at it. I make homemade broth on the stove, but that takes so much longer then 1 hour.
