Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
This soup begins by seasoning chicken thighs with kosher salt, then sautéing diced onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic in olive oil directly in the Instant Pot until softened. The chicken, broth, bay leaves, and black pepper are added, then the mixture is pressure-cooked on high for 15 minutes. This results in tender meat and a flavorful broth concentrated by the cooking process.
After natural pressure release, the bay leaves are discarded, the chicken shredded, and returned to the pot. Egg noodles are added and pressure-cooked again for 2 minutes, tenderizing them without becoming mushy. The soup is garnished with fresh parsley for brightness.
The recipe suggests using pre-chopped vegetables or a veggie chopper to reduce prep time, making this comforting homemade soup more accessible on busy days.
