Instant Pot Chicken Noodle (Printable Version)

Flavorful chicken soup with vegetables and egg noodles made quickly in the Instant Pot. Freezes beautifully without noodles.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 tablespoon avocado oil
02 - 1 large onion, chopped
03 - 3 carrots, sliced
04 - 3 stalks celery, sliced

→ Protein

05 - 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs

→ Seasonings

06 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
07 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley
08 - 1/4 teaspoon pepper
09 - salt to taste

→ Liquids

10 - 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
11 - 4 cups water

→ Pasta

12 - 2 cups egg noodles, uncooked

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Place the Instant Pot on sauté mode and cook the onion, carrots, celery, dried thyme, dried parsley, and pepper with the avocado oil for 5-6 minutes, stirring as needed.
02 - Add the chicken thighs, water, and broth to the pot.
03 - Place the lid on and ensure the valve is in the sealing position. Pressure cook the soup on manual pressure, high, for 10 minutes.
04 - Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Then carefully perform a manual release for any remaining pressure.
05 - Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, then return it to the pot.
06 - Add the egg noodles and cook on sauté mode for 7-8 minutes or until tender.
07 - Adjust seasoning with salt to taste and serve hot.

# Additional Notes:

01 - This soup freezes well without the noodles. For best results, freeze the base soup and add freshly cooked noodles when reheating.
