Creamy Instant Pot Chipotle Shrimp Soup is a quick and easy soup recipe perfect for a busy weekday. It’s loaded with potatoes, corn, bacon and shrimp, finished with cream and gets a spicy kick from Chipotle chilies.
Add bacon to the Instant Pot inner pot and saute until crisp, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add onions, celery and garlic.
Saute till vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Press Cancel and add white wine to deglaze the pot. Stir to remove brown bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot. If not completely deglazed, add a tablespoon or two of broth.
Stir in broth, milk, potatoes, corn, Chipotle, salt, black pepper and thyme.
Close the lid and pressure cook for 1 minute on High Pressure.
Close the Instant Pot and allow the shrimp to cook in the residual heat for 10 minutes.
Garnish each serving with scallions, parsley and/or crumbled bacon.
Notes
Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. chopped onions, minced garlic, diced chicken, etc.
Adjust the quantity of Chipotle chilies to taste.
Instead of cooking the shrimp in the residual heat for 10 minutes, you can select the ‘Saute’ setting and cook the shrimp until done, and stir in the cream to heat through.
