Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
The recipe uses the Instant Pot to cook diced chicken breast and thighs together with garlic, onions, celery, tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes, seasoning with fresh thyme, rosemary, oregano, and parsley. After sautéing the aromatics, the ingredients pressure cook in chicken stock or water, tenderizing both meat and vegetables. The chicken is shredded and returned to the pot. Egg noodles are then cooked in the hot broth until just tender, absorbing flavors.
The inclusion of diced tomatoes introduces a mild tang and brightness uncommon in traditional chicken noodle soups, while potatoes add substance and a comforting texture that enriches the broth. Fresh herbs impart a fragrant herbal note enhancing the savory depth of the soup.
This soup is practical for a warming meal and pairs well with simple bread. The method allows for a relatively quick preparation of a layered, tender soup with wholesome ingredients.
