Steps

Set a 6-quart pressure cooker to SAUTE and cook the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme in butter or oil for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken, wild rice, oregano, bay leaves, stock, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
Lock the lid and cook at HIGH pressure for 15 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then vent the remaining pressure.
Remove the chicken, discard the bones and skin, and shred the meat once cool enough to handle.
Set the cooker to SAUTE, whisk in the flour and cream, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Return the chicken and stir until the soup is hot and the chicken reaches 165 F.
