Ingredients

  • 8 cups water

  • 2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • ¾ cup diced celery

Directions

  1. Combine water, chicken, celery, carrots, onion, chicken soup base, oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper, curry powder, and bay leaves in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®).

  2. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  3. Discard bay leaves. Remove chicken breasts and dice; be careful, it's hot.

  4. Return chicken to the pot with pastina. Select Saute function and boil, uncovered, until pasta is tender, about 4 minutes.
