I took my favorite wild rice soup and substituted freekeh in its place. Feel free to add chopped cooked chicken for an even heartier soup.

Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons salted butter, divided

  • 1 cup freekeh

  • 5 medium carrots, chopped

  • 5 stalks celery, chopped

  • ½ medium onion, chopped

  • 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups 1% milk

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Add 1 tablespoon butter and allow to melt. Add freekeh, carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, and garlic; saute for 3 minutes. Pour in broth.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Season soup with salt, poultry seasoning, and thyme. Stir to combine.

  4. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and stir in flour to create a paste. Whisk in milk until sauce is smooth and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour into the soup and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
