6 cups of chicken broth *compliant + water to cover the chicken in the instant pot
1 tbsp olive oil + 2 tsp (divided)
3 cloves of garlic, whole
½ tsp fennel seed
½ tsp caraway seed
1 medium onion, chopped as desired (we like rustic, chunky soup ~1/2” dice)

Instructions

SALT and pepper the chicken generously.
PUT the chicken, broth and water to cover the chicken under high pressure on poultry setting.
CHOP all the vegetables.
HEAT a large soup pot on medium, add 1 Tbsp olive oil, spices, and garlic until fragrant, 2 minutes. *you don’t want the spices to burn, but the layered flavor is thumbs up!
REMOVE (and reserve) the seeds with a spoon, leaving as much oil as possible.
ADD all the vegetables in, + the rest of the olive oil.
Sautee until softer, but still al dente – they’ll cook more in the broth.
PULL the chicken from the bones.
ADD chicken + all the liquid + spices to the vegetables.
CONTINUE cooking until desired veggie tenderness.
SERVE with parsley for freshness.
