Instant Pot Chicken Soup

Instant Pot Chicken Soup combines diced carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and skinless cubed chicken breast with a blend of herbs and spices, cooked in chicken stock for a hearty broth. The addition of pasta toward the end softens to a tender texture without overcooking by using the sauté function. This method yields a comforting soup rich in aromatic vegetables and balanced seasoning, suitable for a warming meal and adaptable to various pasta types.
