- 2 Red Peppers Sliced
- 8 ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms Sliced
- 6 Chicken Thighs Boneless, Skinless, Cubed
- 3 Cups Chicken Broth

- 3 tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 3 tablespoon Lime Juice

Instructions
- Heat a 6 or 8-quart Instant Pot using the sauté function. Add oil, chicken, red peppers, and onions, and sauté 2-3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes. Add lemon grass paste, ginger paste, curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce and stir. Allow to sit for 2 minutes.
- Add the broth and stir. Close the lid, seal the pressure valve, and set it on manual/high for 4 minutes.

- Serve the soup and garnish with Thai basil.
Notes
Use Quality Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and texture in your soup.
Authentic Ingredients: Use traditional Thai ingredients like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal if you can find them, as they will give your soup an authentic Thai flavor.
Add Coconut Milk Last: To prevent the coconut milk from curdling, add it after the pressure cooking cycle is complete.
Adjust Spiciness: Depending on your preference, adjust the amount of red curry paste and chili. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away.
Don't Skip The Garnish: Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a drizzle of chili oil can elevate your Thai chicken soup from good to great.
