Push Cancel at the end of the cooking time and leave for a 15 minute Natural Release. Slowly move the venting knob to the "Vent" position to release the remaining pressure.

Carefully remove the lid and give the soup a stir. If you want it to be thicker, press the "Saute" button and heat on low (by pressing the Adjust button) until your desired texture. Stir in the shredded chicken.
