Ingredient Notes
This Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe is filled with fresh ingredients to ensure the best tasting soup possible! To make this meal you’ll start with boneless skinless chicken breast that then gets cooked right in the instant pot before being shredded into bite-sized pieces.
Along with the chicken, the core of this soup is made up of sliced carrots, sliced celery, diced onions, and egg noodles. The cozy flavoring is then made up of chicken broth, pressed garlic cloves, bay leaf, chopped fresh parsley, salted butter, chicken bouillon powder, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Then serve your bowl of soup up with saltine crackers, grilled cheese sandwiches, or homemade biscuits!
How To Make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
Add the chicken, chicken broth, water, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, fresh parsley, butter, chicken bouillon powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the instant pot. Stir to combine.
Cook on the pressure cook setting. Then use the quick release or natural release once it’s done cooking.
Transfer the chicken from the instant pot onto a cutting board to allow it to rest.
Add the egg noodles to the instant pot and press the saute function. Boil the noodles until they’re just turning soft.
If you’re planning to freeze this soup, I’d recommend skipping cooking the noodles as they don’t freeze well. Simply shred the chicken and add it back in then bag and freeze. Cook noodles fresh on the stovetop to add to thawed soup and enjoy.
Shred the chicken and then add it back into the instant pot.
Remove the bay leaf and then serve the soup warm!
