Recipe Notes

Tips

If you’re short on time, you can easily make this Thai chicken potato soup in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker.

The high pressure helps the chicken drumettes become fall-off-the-bone tender while the potatoes cook perfectly soft in just a fraction of the time.

It’s a fantastic option for busy weeknights when you still want a wholesome, flavor-packed meal on the table without waiting too long.
