Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 medium carrots peeled and cut into 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) diagonal slices
  • 3 talks celery cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) slices
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large yellow onion cut into a large dice
  • 1 whole chicken about 3 lbs. (1.3 kg)
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon salt or more to taste
  • 1 large pinch ground black pepper
  • 3 cups extra-wide egg noodles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the carrots, celery, garlic, and onion.
  2. Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot to the high sauté setting. Add the oil, and once it's hot, add the carrots, celery, garlic, onion, salt, and a large pinch of ground black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken and 8 cups of water. Cover the pot, select Manual, and set it to High pressure for 20 minutes.
  4. When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. Once the valve drops, carefully remove the cover. Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pot and transfer it to a large bowl. Allow it to cool for several minutes. Using your hands or two forks, remove the skin and bones, and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Switch the Instant Pot to the high Sauté setting and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 4 to 5 minutes. DO NOT OVERCOOK THE NOODLES, as they will become soggy and absorb too much of the soup. Add the chicken back into the pot and stir. Adjust the salt to taste, if desired.
  6. Turn off the heat, then divide the Chicken Noodle Soup into bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

  • This Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup recipe is adapted from Food Network
  • Serve the chicken noodle soup immediately if possible. The noodles might soak up the soup if left in the pot for too longer, making the noodles mushy and too soft to eat.
