Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup combines diced onion, olive oil, boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced carrots and celery, chopped fresh parsley, and a bay leaf simmered together in chicken broth. The soup is cooked under pressure for 10 minutes, tenderizing the chicken and melding flavors efficiently. After quick releasing the pressure, the chicken is shredded, and egg noodles are simmered in the broth to absorb flavors and soften.
The resulting soup balances the mild savoriness of chicken with aromatic vegetables and tender noodles. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, it presents a classic profile familiar in homemade chicken noodle soups but prepared with the convenience of pressure cooking for time savings.
This broth-focused soup works well as a light meal or comforting starter. The shredded chicken is easy to eat and the vegetables add texture without being overwhelming. It can be served with bread or crackers to complement the broth and noodles.
