Why this works

Warm, golden and almost no work. Chicken thighs, coconut milk, ginger, garlic, turmeric, garam masala, mushrooms and spinach all go into the Instant Pot together. Ten minutes at pressure, shred the chicken, done. It's from our soup-for-every-cold-night post.

Use full-flavored unsweetened coconut milk. It's the whole base of the soup.

Method

01
Put everything in the Instant Pot: chicken, coconut milk, onion, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, spinach, salt, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and cilantro.
02
Lock the lid, select Manual and cook at High pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally, then open the lid.
03
Lift the chicken into a bowl, shred it with two forks and stir it back into the soup. Serve hot.

Good to know

Natural release matters. Letting the pressure drop on its own keeps the chicken tender. It takes a few extra minutes.

Spice level. The ½ teaspoon of cayenne gives a gentle warmth. Halve it for no heat.

Questions

Before you start

Can I make it on the stove?

The recipe is written for the Instant Pot. On the stove, simmer covered until the chicken is cooked through and tender, then shred it.

Can I use chicken breast?

Yes, but thighs stay juicier.
