Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 medium carrots peeled & sliced
- 2 ticks celery chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs boneless/skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Add the butter and oil to your Instant Pot. Press the sauté button and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes.
- Add all the remaining ingredients to your Instant Pot except for the noodles, salt & pepper, and parsley.
- Close the lid and set the valve to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. It'll take about 15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure.
- Once the countdown has finished, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure.
- Take the chicken out and shred it with 2 forks. Meanwhile, press the sauté button again and add the noodles to the Instant Pot. Let them cook until softened, and add the chicken back in once it's shredded.
- Season the soup with salt & pepper as needed (I added a fair bit of salt). Serve with fresh parsley sprinkled over top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Anything over about a pound of chicken will work - you don't have to be exact.
- If you want to use boneless/skinless chicken breasts, I suggest reducing the cook time to 8 minutes.
- This is the 6-qt. Instant Pot I used to make this recipe.
- Add some freshly squeezed lemon juice at the end if you'd like this to be a lemon chicken soup.
- You may need to add more chicken broth when reheating the soup (the noodles soak up more liquid the longer you leave it). If you plan on freezing the soup, I suggest doing it prior to adding the noodles.
- Other methods: check out the stovetop version or the Crockpot version of the recipe.
