  1. Mix together the dumpling ingredients in a large bowl just until a dough forms. Be sure not to over mix or they will be heavy instead of light and fluffy.

  2. Press the saute function on the Instant Pot and add in the ghee. Once hot, brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. Add in the onion, celery, and carrot. Saute for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add in the spices and saute an additional 30 seconds.

  4. Add the potatoes to the Instant Pot and stir.

  5. Pour in the broth and place spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons per dumpling) of the dumpling dough on top of the soup.

  6. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to manual high pressure for 12 minutes. Once done let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes then release manually.

  7. Remove the chicken and shred. Stir in the milk or cream then add in the shredded chicken. Taste for salt and serve.
