    Chicken falls apart if immersed in the broth. Can raise it partly out if the liquid using a basket, or omit it entirety. Plain cooked chicken can be added later.

    Mushrooms are well done as written. For fresher texture, add them after pressure release and warm them in.

    Broth may turn out lumpy. Emulsify using a stick blender after removing the inedible bits.
