This Pressure Cooker Chicken Orzo Soup recipe is sponsored by the Crock-Pot® brand. All opinions are my own.
I've been asking myself why it's taken me so long to jump on the pressure cooker bandwagon. After spending a few days cooking with the new Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker , I'm really grateful that I've finally been introduced to the wonder of this product which can cook meals 70% faster than traditional cooking!
The first recipe I tried in my new Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker was this delicious chicken orzo soup, and wow, was it ever easy to make!
If you're a regular reader of my blog, you already know that I am a big fan of the Crock-Pot® brand for slow cooking, and I am really excited about the new Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker which does slow cooking, pressure cooking, and a whole lot more.
Pressure Cooker Chicken Orzo Soup Recipe
As a busy working mother of two, I am always seeking new and innovative ways to put tasty food on the dinner table, faster.
The new Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker helps me achieve that goal by combining the functions of a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté/browning, along with 8 built-in preset buttons that effortlessly cook a variety of great tasting meals.
Honestly, y'all, this thing couldn't be easier to use, and I'm so excited to start experimenting in the kitchen by turning some of my favorite slow cooker recipes into pressure cooker recipes!
I prepared this warm, comforting and nutritious pressure cooker chicken orzo soup in less than 30 minutes from start to serving.
This is such a wonderful and simple soup recipe that my whole family enjoys. I also love sending the leftovers to work with my husband the next day in an insulated bowl. He works in the elements, and it's the perfect way for him to warm-up during his lunch hour.
I'm so thrilled that the Crock-Pot® brand has designed this wonderfully versatile product.
