I know it's an old wives tale but seriously nothing makes you feel better when you are feeling down than a big hot bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup.

And if you own an Instant Pot you know how easy it is to make some homemade soup.

Ingredients

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup starts out just like any homemade chicken noodle soup recipe with fresh ingredients like chicken meat, chicken broth, and fresh vegetables like celery, onion, and carrots.

These are the basic chicken noodle soup ingredients.

What makes homemade chicken noodle soup special is the herbs or spices you use to season and flavor the soup.

Let's make soup!

The first step to make this recipe is to sauté the vegetables in the Instant Pot using the sauté setting.

This is optional but will add a richer flavor to the soup.

If you are not sautéing the vegetables skip that step and add the ingredients to the pot.

If you are sautéing the vegetables cook until the onions are translucent.

Add the dried seasonings to the pot.

Use a large spoon to toss the vegetables with the salt, pepper and thyme.

Add the chicken and herbs to the pot and pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot.

Check to make sure the rubber seal is properly in place on the inside of the instant pot lid then place the lid on the appliance, twist it and lock it into place.

Turn the valve to the sealing position and push the manual button. Adjust the pressure cooking time to 8 minutes.

It will take about 15 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach full pressure and then it will begin pressure cooking.

When the timer goes off notifying you that it has finished pressure cooking allow the pressure to naturally release for 8 minutes.

Carefully, using a long-handled spoon like a wooden spoon push the valve to release and allow the trapped pressure to release.

Once the steam has completely released twist the lid off and carefully open and remove the lid so the steam releases away from your face and body.

Use two forks to pull the chicken meat apart into bite-size pieces.

Return the shredded chicken meat to the pot and immediately stir the wide eggs noodles into the hot chicken broth.

Add the uncooked wide egg noodles to the soup and stir them into the soup broth.

Place the lid back on the appliance and allow the noodles to cook in the hot broth of the covered pot for about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how tender you prefer your soup noodles.

I like to stir some fresh baby spinach leaves into my chicken soup recipes but you can skip this step if you don't have any spinach on hand.

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup is a delicious hearty homemade chicken soup recipe that is delicious with the a savory broth, tender chicken and lots of wide noodles.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Soup broth: Store-bought broth cuts out time when making homemade soup recipes. But homemade broth can be used instead.
  • Soup noodles: Noodles should be added to the Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup after the soup ingredients have pressure cooked. Noodles will turn to mush if cooked in the pressure cooker.
  • Boneless Chicken meat: Staring with boneless meat saves time. Using boneless chicken breast will cut out the step of removing the chicken meat from the bones and make this soup recipe easier and faster to make. I like to use boneless chicken breast to make all of my pressure cooker soup recipes.
  • Cooking safely: Always carefully lift the Instant Pot lid away from your face and body when opening the Instant Pot after pressure cooking to avoid burns.

    Today is my second time making this. It’s a wonderful recipe that can easily be tailored to suit different tastes. The first time I cooked some frozen drumsticks in my instant pot first and then used those in the soup. I cut the herbs in half and used dry because we find rosemary and thyme to be strong flavors. It came out great! I followed the recipe again today, used a little olive oil and one tablespoon butter and added a couple minced garlic cloves. I cut the herbs a little further because my husband said it was still a bit much for him. It’s wonderful! Thank you for such a great, quick recipe! Will use regularly, especially this winter.

    This was absolutely fabulous! I highly recommend this recipe. My picky eaters loved it. I followed the recipe exactly using the rosemary, thyme and bay leaves. I used dried herbs as I didn’t have fresh herbs on hand. It was perfect and quick! Thank you for this recipe!
