Preparation

Step 1

Turn on the pot to the Sauté mode (Normal heat). When the display reads "Hot" add the oil.

Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cubes turn white, but are not fully cooked. Remove from the pot to a plate and set aside.

Add the butter, onions, celery, carrots, and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Sprinkle in the curry powder, garam masala, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir well to combine. A paste will form.

Add the chicken broth, stirring well to incorporate the flour into the broth.

Add the reserved chicken, tomatoes, rice, apple, and cloves. Stir.

Put the lid on the pot and lock in place. Set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.

Cancel the Sauté mode. Press the Manual (or Pressure Cook) button and then the + or - to select 7 minutes.

When the cooking cycle ends, just let the pot sit and naturally release the pressure for 20 minutes or more. Then turn the steam release knob to release the remaining pressure.

When the pin in the lid drops, open the pot and stir the soup.

Add the heavy cream or coconut milk and serve.
