Tips :

When using the dumplings, make sure you separate them before adding them to the pot as they stick together. Instead of using canned biscuits, you can even make your dumplings from scratch.

You can use chicken breast with skin and bones for a deeper more delicious broth. Make sure you shred the chicken after it cooks for a boneless and skinless soup.

To master the use of your instant pot, refer to the manufacturer’s guide for features such as locking the lid and quick release.

For the onions and thyme, you can use them either fresh or dried.

As a substitute for whipped cream, you can use flour and water.

You can dice half of the onion and slice the other half for better texture.
